Next.js Static Site Generation RFC
Allow Next.js to become fully hybrid by providing methods to do both static generation and server-side rendering on a per-page basis.
Two new data per-page fetching methods
getStaticProps- Opt-in to static generation (SSG) at next build time.getServerProps- Opt-in to server-side rendering (SSR) which renders on-demand.
A new method for statically generating (SSG) a set of routes from dynamic sources
getStaticPaths- Return list of parameters for dynamic routes to do static generation (SSG)
This RFC exclusively discusses API additions. All new functionality is completely backwards compatible and can be incrementally adopted. This RFC introduces no deprecations.
