- Create / update static pages after the site is built
- Use static-generation on a per-page basis without needing to rebuilding the entire site
1 page = 0.5 sec
10 pages = 5 sec
100 pages = 50 sec
- Flexibility to choose which pages are generated at build or on-demand
- Choose which fits your needs & use case better:
A) Faster builds
B) More cached pages
getStaticPaths - fallback prop ("blocking" / true)
// pages/products/[id].js export async function getStaticPaths() { const products = await getTop1000Products(); const paths = products.map((product) => ({ params: { id: product.id }, })); return { paths, fallback: 'blocking' }; }
getStaticProps - revalidate prop
// pages/products/[id].js export async function getStaticProps({ params }) { return { props: { product: await getProductFromDatabase(params.id), }, revalidate: 60, }; }
