Dynamically generating pages using GraphQL queries

[johnletey]

The title of the discussion pretty much sums up what I want to do. But let me go into some more detail:

With Gatsby, inside your gatsby-node.js file you can automatically create pages using a page template and pass data into the template from a GraphQL query. I have had a look around and I can't seem to find any way to do this in Next.js.

In general would recommend reading the full document here: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching

But what you're looking for specifically is getStaticPaths: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching#getstaticpaths-static-generation which allows you to generate dynamic paths

One example with graphql would be https://github.com/zeit/next.js/blob/canary/examples/cms-datocms/pages/posts/%5Bslug%5D.js#L53-L75
