gatsby-static-paths

If you're looking for a solution identical to Next.js's getStaticPaths, you've come to the right place.

This plugin is very simple to use. It generates static pages in Gatsby in a very simple way.

Install

$ npm i gatsby-static-paths

or

$ yarn add gatsby-static-paths

How to use

Add the plugin to your gatsby-config.js.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    `gatsby-static-paths`
  ]
}

In your component's page role pages/articles.js

const Articles = ({ pageContext }) => {
  return <p>my article {pageContext.staticProps}</p>;
};

export default Articles;

export const getStaticPaths = async () => {
  const api = await fetch('https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/list/all');
  const json = await api.json();

  return {
    paths: Object.keys(json.message).map((article) => ({
      params: {
        basePath: '/articles/',
        slug: article,
      },
      staticProps: article,
    })),
  };
};

See that if you want to send props via context to a page you just need to put the value in the staticProps key and in your component you receive it as pageContext.staticProps

On build Time

You will see the magic happen. The pages you passed as return from the getStaticPaths function will be listed.
