Using clientside only library with nextjs (t3)
I have been working on a rebuild of an ancients system that we use in nextjs (t3 all in with ts) however we require to use a javascript library for connecting to our printers (dymo labelwriter sdk), what is the best way to achieve using the library with the t3stack without getting hydration issues or a load of type errors and not having the library run on the server side?
(the library is old and kinda shitty and I don't feel like trying to rewrite it)

Move the code that interacts with the library into a separate component and load it only on client. You can also rename the file with this component from
.tsx to .jsx, if you encounter a lot of type errors, but usually js libraries work fine inside ts, you just don't get any autocomplete and typechecking.
