Next.js from Development to Deployment - Start Pagination - Generate Paths

The video tutorial explains how to implement pagination for a blog using React. It covers setting up the necessary folder and file structure, importing and exporting components, and implementing static paths for pagination. The tutorial also discusses configuring the number of posts per page using a config file. The goal is to efficiently manage and display a large number of blog posts by dividing them into multiple pages.

Why is pagination important for a blog with many posts?

• To display all posts on a single page

What is the role of 'getStaticPaths' in the blog application?

• To fetch data from an API

How is the number of pages calculated for pagination?

• By adding the total number of posts to the number of posts per page

• By multiplying the total number of posts by the number of posts per page

• By dividing the total number of posts by the number of posts per page

• By subtracting the number of posts per page from the total number of posts

What is the fallback option set to in the 'getStaticPaths' function?

• False

• Undefined

• True

• Null

Where is the number of posts per page configured in the application?
