Object.fromEntries is not a function error when using chakra-ui and next.js

Question

I created a next.js app using Vercel and then installed chakra-ui using the following command line:

npm i @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react@^11 @emotion/styled@^11 framer-motion@^4

It resulted in the following error:

TypeError: Object.fromEntries is not a function

I tried tinkering with node modules... these are my dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "@chakra-ui/react": "^1.6.1",
    "@emotion/react": "^11.4.0",
    "@emotion/styled": "^11.3.0",
    "@types/react": "^17.0.5",
    "framer-motion": "^4.1.16",
    "next": "10.2.0",
    "react": "17.0.2",
    "react-dom": "17.0.2",
    "typescript": "^4.2.4"
  }

This is my pages/_app.tsx file:

import '../styles/globals.css'
import { ChakraProvider } from "@chakra-ui/react"

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <ChakraProvider>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </ChakraProvider>
  )
}

export default MyApp

And I left the index.tsx as default:

import Head from 'next/head'
import Image from 'next/image'
import styles from '../styles/Home.module.css'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <div className={styles.container}>
      <Head>
        <title>Create Next App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="Generated by create next app" />
        <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
      </Head>

      <main className={styles.main}>
        <h1 className={styles.title}>
          Welcome to <a href="https://nextjs.org">Next.js!</a>
        </h1>

          </a>
        </div>
      </main>

      <footer className={styles.footer}>
        <a
          href="https://vercel.com?utm_source=create-next-app&utm_medium=default-template&utm_campaign=create-next-app"
          target="_blank"
          rel="noopener noreferrer"

          <span className={styles.logo}>
            <Image src="/vercel.svg" alt="Vercel Logo" width={72} height={16} />
          </span>
        </a>
      </footer>
    </div>
  )
}

Does anyone know how I can resolve the error?

This also happens in Chrome 66 (which isn't even 5 years old yet). I would avoid using Object.fromEntries for a little while longer. — personal_cloud

I had to update my node version, which was at v10.17.0. I updated it to v14.17.0!

It solves the problem. Please mark this as an answer.

These versions refer to nvm. I am using npm directly with the latest version (7.24.2) but still getting this error. Is Chakra dependent on nvm somehow?

Ali Samie Over a year ago

me too. I just searched for how to update nodejs in linux and it is solved.

Check if your Node.js is under version v12.0.0. If it is, then Object.fromEntries() is not supported.

Option #1: Upgrade to a version of Node JS that is above version 12.0.0.

Option #2: Instead of calling Object.fromEntries() use a ponyfill/polyfill like this which is only 6 lines long: https://github.com/feross/fromentries/blob/master/index.js (credits to the original authors)

Yeah, I had trouble with this case and I solved it by updating the node version from v10 to v14 and It worked smoothly.

You can use the quick command with nvm:

nvm install v14

If it's available:

nvm use 14

Hope you too!
