I am using getServerSideProps in pages/post/index.js:
import React from "react";import Layout from "../../components/Layout";function Post({ post }) { console.log("in render", post); return (<Layout title={post.name}><pre>{JSON.stringify(post, undefined, 2)}</pre></Layout> );}export async function getServerSideProps({ query }) { return fetch( `${process.env.API_URL}/api/post?id=${query.id}` ) .then(result => result.json()) .then(post => ({ props: { post } }));}export default Post;
When I directly load /post/2
it works as expected but when I go from /posts
to /post/2
by clicking on a link:
<Link as={`/post/${post.id}`} href={`/post?id=${post.id}`}>
It looks like nothing happens for 2 seconds (the api delay) and then the content shows. I can see in the network tab that _next/data/development/post/9.json
is being loaded by fetchNextData.
I would like to show a loading spinner when I move from one route to another using next/Link
but I can't find any documentation on getServerSideProps that allows me to do this.
When I directly go to /post/:id
I'd like the data to be fetched server side and get a fully rendered page (works) but when I then move to another route the data should be fetched from the client (works). However; I would like to have a loading indicator and not have the UI freeze up for the duration of the data request.
