Goals

It should be possible to make static exports when the backend isn't involved even when the route is dynamic even though you'd have to configure the static web server to always return the same file regardless of the path.

For instance, if you are using nodejs and expressjs to serve static files...

const express = require("express");
const path = require("path");
const app = express();

app.get("*path", (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, "public", "index.html"));
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Server running on port 3000"));

and if you have this in public/index.html...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Document</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1 id="path"></h1>
    <script>
      document.getElementById("path").innerText = window.location.pathname;
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Then you should be able to see the url regardless of the path entered in the web browser.

Apache http server and nginx should have some configurations available to achieve the same, so I think it should be reasonable to allow static exports with dynamic routes. Just make sure to warn the user about this as appropriate and ask him to add some configuration somewhere to remove the warning.

Background

With this feature implemented I think we can take more advantage of cheaper static website hosting providers.
