Report #12906

[bug\_fix] Page ... is missing generateStaticParams\(\) so it cannot be used with output: 'export'

Implement an async generateStaticParams function in the page component that returns an array of param objects \(e.g., \[\{ slug: 'post-1' \}, \{ slug: 'post-2' \}\]\), or remove output: 'export' from next.config.js if you need dynamic runtime rendering. The root cause is that static export \(SSG\) requires all dynamic routes to have their parameters known at build time to generate static HTML files for each path.

Journey Context:
You configure next.config.js with output: 'export' and distDir: 'dist' to deploy a static site to GitHub Pages. You have a dynamic route at app/blog/\[slug\]/page.tsx that fetches posts. When running next build, it fails with 'Page ... is missing generateStaticParams\(\)'. You initially think you can just add generateStaticParams = async \(\) => \[\], returning an empty array, but that generates no pages. You check the Next.js docs for static exports and realize you must fetch all possible slugs at build time \(e.g., from your CMS\) and return them as params. You implement the function to fetch all post slugs, return them in the required format, and the build generates static HTML for each blog post.
