I am trying to build my app with output: 'export', so I can have a static version. But am getting the error below:

> Build error occurred
Error: Page "/api/auth/[...nextauth]" is missing "generateStaticParams()" so it cannot be used with "output: export" config.


I've read the documentation about generateStaticParams, but not sure how to use it inside [...nextauth] or what array it should return.

The error you're encountering occurs because Next.js static site generation (SSG) with output: export does not support dynamic routes or API routes directly. The message indicates that the page /api/auth/[...nextauth] requires a dynamic parameter, but static export (output: export) necessitates all routes to be statically defined at build time.

To resolve this issue, you have a few options depending on your use case:

1. Exclude Dynamic and API Routes from Static Export
If the dynamic API route /api/auth/[...nextauth] is not essential for the static build, you can exclude it from the static export process. This involves restructuring your project so that API routes are not included in the build.

2. Use getStaticPaths and getStaticProps
For dynamic routes that must be part of the static export, you can use getStaticPaths and getStaticProps to define all possible paths at build time. However, this approach is more applicable to dynamic pages rather than API routes.

3. Move API Routes to a Server
Consider moving your API routes to a separate server (e.g., a Node.js server, serverless functions, or an external API service) instead of including them within the Next.js app. This allows the Next.js app to be statically exported without the need for dynamic API routes.

@Scottish Deerhound thank you. is this really helpful?

So this means for API routes, I have to either remove the /api/auth/[...nextauth] or create an external server for it.
