I'm trying to learn nextjs. Struggling to work out routing with getServerSideProps.
Using a free API I have a list of countries displayed on the DOM. I want to dynamically link to a country and data be fetched and displayed for that specific country.
Heres my code so far
const Country = props => (
<Layout>
<h1>{props.country.name}</h1>
<span>{props.country.capital}</span>
</Layout>
);
export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
const { id } = context.query;
const res = await fetch(`https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/name/${id}`);
const country = await res.json();
console.log(`Fetched place: ${country.name}`);
return { props: { country } };
}
export default Country;
<div className='container'>
<Head>
<title>Countries List</title>
<link rel='icon' href='/favicon.ico' />
</Head>
<Layout>
<main>
<h1>
Countries{' '}
<span role='img' aria-label='world emoji'>
🌎
</span>
</h1>
<ul>
{countries.map(country => (
<li key={country.name}>
<Link href='/p/[id]' as={`/p/${country.name}`}>
<a>{country.name}</a>
</Link>
</li>
))}
</ul>
</main>
</Layout>
</div>
);
export async function getServerSideProps() {
// Call an external API endpoint to get posts.
const res = await fetch('https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/all');
const countries = await res.json();
// By returning { props: posts }, the Blog component
// will receive `posts` as a prop at build time
return {
props: {
countries,
},
};
}
export default Home;
The URL dynamically routes ok. For example, when you click on Afghanistan the URL shows http://localhost:3000/p/Afghanistan.
My country component however doesn't display anything and undefined is printed to the terminal.
Example of URL and response from URL: https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/name/Afghanistan
{
name: "Afghanistan"
}
Apologies if a noob question. Trying to learn nextjs
export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
const { id } = context.query;
const res = await fetch(`https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/name/${id}`);
const country = await res.json();
console.log(`Fetched place: ${country.name}`);
return { props: { country } };
}
This is how you should implement
const Country = props => (
<Layout>
<h1>{props.props.country.name}</h1>
<span>{props.props.country.capital}</span>
</Layout>
);
In next.js 13, if you set app directory, components in this directory will be server-rendered components by default. That means everything will be run on the server and we do not need to write specifiacallygetServerSideProps. in "app" directory, if your file name is surrounded by [..id], it means it is a dynamic route. In page.jsx, you can access id like this
export default function ProductPage({ params }) {
return (
<div>
<h1>Product ID: {params.id}</h1>
</div>
);
}
