Edge Prerendering ​

Prerender pages at deploy time so the first visitor receives cached HTML.

Static pages (no params) ​

Export prerender = true from the companion .server.ts file:

ts
// pages/about.server.ts
export const prerender = true;

Pages without dynamic params do not need getPrerenderPaths().

Dynamic pages (with params) ​

For a dynamic page, export getPrerenderPaths() to choose which paths to render. Annotate its return type with PageParams so TypeScript checks the parameter names:

ts
// pages/blog/[slug].server.ts
import type { PageParams } from 'void/routes';

export const prerender = true;

export async function getPrerenderPaths(): Promise<PageParams<'/blog/[slug]'>[]> {
  return [{ slug: 'hello-world' }, { slug: 'getting-started' }];
}

Return an object for each path, with every required parameter. Values can be strings or numbers; Void URL-encodes them. Use a catch-all page such as pages/docs/[...slug] for values containing /, for example { slug: 'guides/intro' }.

The type annotation is required for TypeScript to check the keys. At deployment, Void reports invalid entries with their server filename and index.

Custom SSR ​

In custom SSR mode (src/main.ssr.ts), export getPrerenderPaths() at the top level. Since there's no file-based routing, return full path strings:

ts
// src/main.ssr.ts
export const prerender = true;

export async function getPrerenderPaths(): Promise<string[]> {
  return ['/', '/about', '/blog/hello-world'];
}

Relationship to revalidation ​

Setting routing.isr: false in void.config.ts disables ISR and this edge-prerendering behavior, including per-page exports. It does not disable build-time HTML generation with output: "static".

Prerendered pages default to a one-year revalidate TTL. Deploys clear the ISR cache.

Override the TTL per page:

ts
// pages/about.server.ts
export const prerender = true;
export const revalidate = 3600;

If the cached page expires before your next deploy, the next request waits for a fresh render.

Behavior details ​

  • Prerender happens once per deployment, before traffic is routed to the new version. Prerendered pages are cached at the edge.
  • Only paths with a positive revalidate TTL are prerendered (TTL 0 is skipped).
  • Prerender failures are logged but never block the deploy. The page will render on the first request as usual.
