Using with Remix: type is invalid -- expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: object.

Hello -- I'm trying to use the Turnstile component in a Remix app, like so:

import React from 'react';
import { Form } from "@remix-run/react";
import Turnstile, { useTurnstile } from "react-turnstile";

export default function Contact() {
  const turnstile = useTurnstile();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Contact me</h1>
      <Form method="post">
        <legend>Please enter message details</legend>
        <p>
          <input type="email" name="email" class="bg-transparent border-2 border-solid border-slate-50 rounded-sm"/>
        </p>
        <p>
          <textarea name="message" class="bg-transparent border-2 border-solid border-slate-50 rounded-sm"></textarea>
        </p>
        <Turnstile
          sitekey="1x00000000000000000000AA"
        />
        <button type="submit">Send message</button>
      </Form>
    </div>
  );
}

However, when I try to browse to this route, I get this error:

[ERROR] Warning: React.jsx: type is invalid -- expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: object.
Check your code at contact.tsx:19.

Line 19, that it mentions in the error, is where the Turnstile component is declared.

Is this something anyone else has come across? And can they offer any advice, if they have?
Thank you,
Doug.

Have the same problem.

Did you managed it?

I worked around this by letting the Turnstile component only render on the client via ClientOnly from https://sergiodxa.github.io/remix-utils/#md:clientonly

You need to render only on the client. With ClientOnly as emqMalte said, or with useEffect:

export default function ComponentWithTurnstile() {
  const [isClient, setIsClient] = useState(false);
  useEffect(() => {
    setIsClient(true);
  }, []);

  return (
    ...
    {isClient && <Turnstile ... />}
  )
}

I believe the original issue should be fixed by #45 which just landed in v1.1.15; use import { Turnstile, useTurnstile } from "react-turnstile" if you run into this.

This library is still client-side only, so "use client" directives or other hacks that prevent SSR are necessary.
