Bug Report: SideMenu Component Rendering and Data Fetching Issues

Description

The SideMenu component is experiencing multiple implementation challenges that affect its rendering, data fetching, and overall user experience.

Current Behavior

• The component attempts to fetch and render user modules dynamically
• Potential type mismatches and server-side rendering conflicts exist
• Inconsistent loading and error handling

Expected Behavior

• Smooth, reliable rendering of static and dynamic menu items
• Efficient client-side data fetching for user modules
• Consistent loading states and error handling
• Type-safe implementation

Reproducibility

1. Navigate to application dashboard
2. Observe SideMenu component rendering
3. Check module loading and rendering process

Technical Details

• Framework: Next.js (potentially mixing App Router and Pages Router)
• Data Fetching: Using tRPC
• State Management: React useState and useEffect

Specific Issues Identified

• Server-side import conflicts
• Potential type mismatches in module data structure
• Manual error and loading state management

Recommended Improvements

1. Standardize data fetching approach
2. Implement robust type definitions
3. Simplify loading and error handling
4. Ensure consistent cross-browser and cross-framework compatibility

Potential Solutions

• Migrate fully to App Router
• Standardize tRPC query implementation
• Create more robust type interfaces
• Implement more predictable loading states

Additional Context

The current implementation suggests a transitional phase between different Next.js rendering strategies, which may require a more holistic refactoring approach.
