how to render dynamic path?

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

In Astro, you can render dynamic paths in two ways: using Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Static Site Generation (SSG).

1. Server-Side Rendering (SSR): In SSR mode, dynamic routes are defined by including [param] or [...path] brackets in your file names to match arbitrary strings or paths. Since these are not “static” routes, getStaticPaths should not be used. Here's an example:

---const { resource, id } = Astro.params;---<h1>{resource}: {id}</h1>

This page will be served for any value of resource and id: resources/users/1, resources/colors/blue, etc. source (https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/routing#server-ssr-mode)

2. Static Site Generation (SSG): In SSG mode, all routes must be determined at build time. Therefore, a dynamic route must export a getStaticPaths() function that returns an array of objects with a params property. Each of these objects will generate a corresponding route. Here's an example:

---export function getStaticPaths() { return [ {params: {dog: 'clifford'}}, {params: {dog: 'rover'}}, {params: {dog: 'spot'}}, ];}
const { dog } = Astro.params;---<div>Good dog, {dog}!</div>

This will generate three pages: /dogs/clifford, /dogs/rover, and /dogs/spot, each displaying the corresponding dog name. source (https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/routing#static-ssg-mode)

Remember, if you're using dynamic routes in SSG mode and you're still encountering errors, make sure you don't have an extra **id].astro file in your folders. If you have an [id].astro file that's empty or finished, remove it and retry. [source** (https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/6007)

For more information on dynamic routes and getStaticPaths(), you can refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/routing#dynamic-routes).

@acoustic vigil I have ID's defined in separated file. how to generate dynamic pages from these ID's ?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

To generate dynamic pages from IDs defined in a separate file, you can use the getStaticPaths() function in Astro. This function should return an array of objects, each containing a params property that corresponds to a dynamic route.

Here's an example:

---import { ids } from '../path/to/your/ids/file';
export async function getStaticPaths() {
  return ids.map((id) => ({
    params: { id },
  }));
}
const { id } = Astro.params;---<div>Page for ID: {id}</div>

In this example, replace '../path/to/your/ids/file' with the actual path to your file containing the IDs. The ids variable is assumed to be an array of strings or numbers, each representing a unique ID.

This will generate a page for each ID in your array, accessible at /path/to/page/{id}. The {id} in the URL will be replaced by the actual ID from your array.

For more information on dynamic page generation in Astro, refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/routing/#dynamic-routes).
