nextjs trying to pass current url to share on social media

I've created a helper function to generate urls for me like this

  function generateUrl(platform: string) {
  const currentUrl = typeof window !== 'undefined' ? window.location.href : ''
  switch (platform) {
    case 'facebook':
      return `https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=${currentUrl}`
    default:
      return ''
  }
}

When I console log this its all working fine and I get the expected result, when I bundle this up into an Link/a tag within the app, it returns just the url without currentUrl so it just sends me to https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u= without url at the end ? Could it be cause window is not defined yet ?

Where are you calling/defining generateUrl?

Window could be undefinded.

Do a console.log(currentUrl) above the switch statement, see what it prints.
