Providing an InstantSearchSTATICProvider for SSG

[hadminh]

Thanks for the new React Hooks library. I have been testing it and I must say that I am impressed by its performance.

Are you planning to provide a Static Site Generation support? I have noticed that there is an InstantSearchSSRProvider and I was wondering if you are planning for a SSG provider like InstantSearchSTATICProvider?

the InstantSearchSSRProvider works for SSG too, I've tried it before. Where are you getting stuck? Do you have a sandbox with a replication of where you are currently?

Thanks for the reply. Yes It does work by doing this but we don't have access to req inside getStaticProps(). If the url changes dynamically, I am not sure how to pass it. Sorry I currently don't have a sandbox.

export async function getStaticProps(context) {
  console.log(context);
  const url = 'http://localhost:3000/';
  const serverState = await getServerState(<HomePage url={url} />);
  return {
    props: {
      serverState,
      url
    }
  }
}

According to the API reference, the context contains the Next page parameters: https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/data-fetching/get-static-props#context-parameter. When you generate statically you don't have access to things like query parameters, as they aren't static
