How do I set up Static Site Generation in Next.js?

To set up Static Site Generation (SSG) in Next.js, you can use the getStaticProps function in your page component.

Can you give me an example of how to use getStaticProps?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

export async function getStaticProps() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
  const json = await data.json();
  return { props: { json } };
}

This fetches data at build time and passes it as props to your component.

What if I need to generate pages dynamically?

In that case, you can use getStaticPaths along with getStaticProps to generate dynamic routes based on your data.

Thanks! Is there anything else I should know about SSG?

Yes, remember that SSG is great for performance, but if your data changes frequently, consider using Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)!
