Because the code looks correct if it is in the pages router

what do you meant the app router? im using it inside a page.jsx inside the app folder
Then you dont have getStaticProps

@Whippet maybe try learning with the page router first as it is what most people are using

i'm sorry i'm a bit new to next.js can you please send the link of the documentation of what you referring ? my end goal is to build a component at the server side using data from a json file

Sure no problem, if you take a look at the NextJs docs , top left you can see a button that switches between the page router and the newly added app router , here's what you are looking for : https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props
