I'm looking for a way to have a dynamic route that displays for every document in a Firestore collection using Server-side Rendering.
For example, a document called foo would exist at test.com/foo under the [doc] page component. Any time a document is added, it should be able to be accessed through its respective URL.
I've tried this method but I haven't been able to get it to work.
I've also tried implementing getServerSideProps but have not had much success, any pointers would be appreciated.
Code from the method above as follows:
under pages/api/[doc].js
export default (req, res) => {
db.collection("docs")
.doc(req.query.name)
.get()
.then((doc) => {
res.json(doc.data());
})
.catch((error) => {
res.json({ error });
});
};
under pages/[shoal].jsx
import { useRouter } from "next/router";
import useSWR from "swr";
const fetcher = async (...args) => {
const res = await fetch(...args);
return res.json();
};
function Doc() {
const router = useRouter();
const { name } = router.query;
const { data } = useSWR(`/api/${name}`, fetcher);
if (!data) {
return "Loading...";
}
return (
<div>
<p>Title: {data.title}</p>
</div>
);
}
export default Doc;
You can try using getServerSideProps:
export const getServerSideProps = async (ctx) => {
const doc = await db.collection("docs").doc(ctx.query.id).get()
const data = doc.data()
if (!data) return { notFound: true };
return { props: { data } };
};
function Doc({data}) {
const router = useRouter();
const { name } = router.query;
if (!data) {
return "Loading...";
}
return (
<div>
<p>Title: {data.title}</p>
</div>
);
}
export default Doc;
Simple solution.
const { data } = useSWR(api ? '/api/${name}' : null, fetcher);
Conditionally fetch the data if your variable is defined, if not, don't pass a URL string, better yet; you can conditionally consider the fetcher for usage also.
const { data } = useSWR(name ? '/api/${name}' : null, name ? fetcher : null);
