Hey,
I have this use case which is:
Folder structure
app/
Layout.tsx
Folder/
Page.tsx
[…slug]/
Page.tsx
My question is how can i retrieve the parent slug from the slug page in SSR ? I was only getting the slug of the dynamic route using params but i couldn’t get the parent with it, is it possible to do so or should i find another approach?

Okay, but that doesn't change the fact that the
Folder route segment is static, so it's value is the same always.9 Replies

Just so I understand your question, you want to get the
Folder route slug from the [...slug] page?Eastern yellowjacketOP
Yes

Folder is not a dynamic route segment, it's route slug will never change so you already know the value.Eastern yellowjacketOP
Yes but my use case is that i have similar slug queries but for different folders and this queries are connected with the folder name, so i want to filter them to check if the slug is related to that folder or not

You are using catch-all dynamic routes so perhaps you are trying to do something like shown here: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes#catch-all-segments
where instead of
app/shop/[...slug]/page.js for you it's app/folder/[...slug]/page.js and you can access any of those dynamic parts inside the slug arrayEastern yellowjacketOP
Oh okay makes sense thanks 🙏
