Static Site Generation

tip

Reference project: https://github.com/trpc/examples-next-prisma-todomvc

Static site generation requires executing tRPC queries inside getStaticProps on each page.

Fetch data in getStaticProps

pages/posts/[id].tsx

import { createSSGHelpers } from '@trpc/react/ssg';
import {
  GetStaticPaths,
  GetStaticPropsContext,

  const ssg = await createSSGHelpers({
    router: appRouter,
    ctx: {},
    transformer: superjson, // optional - adds superjson serialization
  });
  const id = context.params?.id as string;

  // prefetch `post.byId`
  await ssg.fetchQuery('post.byId', {
    id,
  });

  return {
    props: {
      trpcState: ssg.dehydrate(),
      id,
    },
