...dynamically generate static pages?
- lfx 11y agoYes. Putting in other words - caching (well, some sort).
- jnbiche 11y agoBasically, this means you hit an API endpoint that returns an array of JSON objects, each of which is used to generate an HTML page. Contentful offers this as a service, along with web frontends for updating the data for those APIs.
- gotchange 11y agoApparently, their API is structured to work on a per web page basis or even a higher level than that but I could be mistaken.
