How can I read a route param in Next.js server component?

Hi @idle silo. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

In Next.js, you can access the route segments in Server Components through the params prop for a given page. This is the default behavior for pages as they are Server Components.

Here is an example from the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page#params-optional):

export async function Page({ params }) {
  // params contains the route parameters for this page.
}

In this example, params will contain the route parameters for the page.

If you are dealing with more complex routes in Client Components, you can use usePathname, useSelectedLayoutSegment, and useSelectedLayoutSegments. However, since you specifically asked about Server Components, the params prop is the way to go.

For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page#params-optional).

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@dire mantle I need to access it in a server component, because later on I will use that param in my generateStaticParams() function
