slug with static pages

[light pendant]

Somehow I don't get it. I created a projects.astro file in src/pages.

I put the following code into the frontmatter:

---
const { slug } = Astro.params;
---

When i call it in my template I get undefined . Do I need to add anything else?

If your using SSG you need to include a getStaticPaths() function so that Astro knows what routes to build: https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/routing/#static-ssg-mode Also to use params you need a dynamic route using brackets like [slug].astro

I am using a static page eg.src/pages/house.astro. So is Astro.url.pathname the best way to get the "slug" of a static page?

For non dynamic routes yes
