In this lesson, you'll learn how to install Chakra UI in a blank Next.js project, create a custom App override. Additionally, you will learn how to use the Chakra Provider to set up Chakra UI.

Just started; believe I followed the instructions as given; wrapped the Component with ChakraProvider and get this error: file:///Users/jseidel/dev/nextjs/chakraui/node_modules/@chakra-ui/toast/dist/chunk-7WY3NOY6.mjs:9 import { motion, useIsPresent } from "framer-motion"; ^^^^^^ SyntaxError: Named export 'motion' not found. The requested module 'framer-motion' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports. CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:

import pkg from 'framer-motion'; const { motion, useIsPresent } = pkg;

I did use all the version settings that you provide; here's my package.json { "name": "chakraui", "version": "0.1.0", "private": true, "scripts": { "dev": "next dev", "build": "next build", "start": "next start", "lint": "next lint" }, "dependencies": { "@babel/core": ">=7.0.0 <8.0.0", "@chakra-ui/react": "^2.4.9", "@emotion/react": "^11", "@emotion/styled": "^11", "@next/font": "13.1.3", "@types/node": "18.11.18", "@types/react": "18.0.27", "@types/react-dom": "18.0.10", "eslint": "8.32.0", "eslint-config-next": "13.1.3", "framer-motion": "4", "next": "13.1.3", "react": "18.2.0", "react-dom": "18.2.0", "typescript": "4.9.4" } } Suggestions?

Ok... here is what's needed to make this work now... yarn add @chakra-ui/react@2.4.2 @emotion/react@^11.10.5 @emotion/styled@^11.10.5 framer-motion@^6.5.1 or npm install @chakra-ui/react@2.4.2 @emotion/react@^11.10.5 @emotion/styled@^11.10.5 framer-motion@^6.5.1

Or even without any version numbers -- Chakra-UI just published an update 3 weeks ago to fix the CommonJS module issues.
