Hi,

Thank you for the awesome library. I loved it. 🤩

I am running into an issue while using in next.js. Could you help?

@venkateshpullaganti You have to use dynamic imports to only import this library on the client side. Import the library like this:

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
const AnimatedNumbers = dynamic(() => import('react-animated-numbers'), {
  ssr: false,
})

It worked. Thank you. 🤝

I think that this should be added to the readme, I just ran into the same issue.
