Documentation is missing information on SSR support
đź“ť Provide a description of requested docs changes
Our React guide (or any other guide) does not mention the fact that CKEditor will not work with SSR (server-side rendering) which is the default for popular frameworks such as Next.js. If you don’t know that from the start, you get an error similar to window is undefined and the application won't run.
- If you google “ckeditor5 server side rendering”, you get our closed GH issue about Angular as a first result. Then, you get a blog post on Angular. And then you get the CKBox Documentation page which is pretty clear in this matter.
- Bonus: The fourth result in Google points to our “Core editor architecture” guide with the following excerpt from the guide content: “It controls how the model is rendered to the user for editing. ... their own UI for a feature) as well as for running CKEditor 5 on the server side.“, which is totally misleading :smile:
- Googling “ckeditor5 SSR” gives similar results.
