Next.js from Development to Deployment - getStaticPaths

The video tutorial explains how to handle single events using API requests and demonstrates the use of getServerSideProps for dynamic data fetching. It also covers static generation with getStaticProps and getStaticPaths, detailing how to create paths for static generation and handle fallbacks. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on implementing these methods in a web application.

What is the purpose of using getServerSideProps in the context of fetching a single event?

• To fetch data from a local file

• To fetch data on each request

• To fetch data from a third-party API

• To fetch data at build time

How do you access the slug from the query object in getServerSideProps?

• By using the context object

• By calling a function on the query object

• By destructuring the query object

• By using the params object

What is the next step after fetching the slug to display the event name?

• Create a new slug

• Log the slug to the console

• Make an API request using the slug

• Store the slug in a database

Why is getStaticPaths required for dynamic pages in static generation?

• To define paths for dynamic routes

• To store data in a local file

• To fetch data on each request

• To handle server-side rendering

What does the fallback setting in getStaticPaths control?

• Whether to store data in a local file

• Whether to show a 404 page if a path is not found

• Whether to fetch data on each request

• Whether to use server-side rendering

What is the role of getStaticProps in static generation?

• To fetch data at build time

• To fetch data on each request

• To handle server-side rendering

• To store data in a local file

How does getStaticPaths help in generating static pages?

• By handling server-side rendering

• By defining paths for dynamic routes

• By fetching data on each request

• By storing data in a local file
