so anything that boils down to the @Page / @Get annotations will work

[Damien O'Hara]

does this mean we can't define new routes dynamically? I think it might be difficult to have the DSL define the routes statically

[Sam Gammon]

hm good question

[Sam Gammon]

wdym by dynamically? as in, IDs and other dynamic values in the URL?

[Sam Gammon]

or adding entire URLs in response to runtime conditions?

[Damien O'Hara]

second one. the page block will be runtime - unless there is some interaction between inline and KSP we can take advantage of?

[Sam Gammon]

well the challenge there of course is the SSG nature of it

[Sam Gammon]

if we can compile the page block to JS and route client-side that's fine, in SSG mode

[Sam Gammon]

no problem there yeah

[Sam Gammon]

we'd just need to run the SSG engine against CSR mode which is no issue

[Sam Gammon]

you would just have to be okay with less code in the HTML and more in the JS bundle

[Damien O'Hara]

actually nvm, we might not be talking about the same thing. I think it should be fine

[Sam Gammon]

in that case you'd just have @Page("/")

[Sam Gammon]

and then we could do react routing which im currently integrating with

[Sam Gammon]

anyway its possible

[Sam Gammon]

toggling between CSR and SSR modes is essentially a one-line config change

elide {
  server {
+    ssr {
+      enable()
+    }
  }
}

[Sam Gammon]

it's not an architectural difference

[Sam Gammon]

so that should at least mitigate any risk to this answer

[Damien O'Hara]

yeah thats right. worst case we'd just handle with @Page("/") and do the route resolution independently

[Damien O'Hara]

and it doesn't really matter because it's just going to be SSGd anyway

[Sam Gammon]

right, like that server controller only lives during the build

[Sam Gammon]

next handles this in an interesting way with getStaticProps

[Sam Gammon]

i don't quite understand how it works yet but i plan to look into that too

[Sam Gammon]

if you, say, have a table of blog posts with /post/:postId, it should theoretically be able to fan-out to a set of HTML files with a SELECT * somewhere
