In App Dir, is it possible to generate static params at build, but also update these incrementally?

For example in the docs, it shows this:

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())
 
  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}

If I did this, but added the next: revalidate: stuff would it work? Or is there another way to do this without going full SSR?

generateStaticParams only runs at build time so you'll need to add a fetch in the component too

so basically i can't use generateStaticParams right?

@European sprat `generateStaticParams` only runs at build time so you'll need to add a fetch in the component too

if you use generatestaticparams can you remove/add new params later?

if you access params thats not included in the generateStaticParams, they will be build once at request time, cached to the build cache

Its called ISR

That makes sense on how it would add params later, is there a way to remove them if they no longer exist?

not yet as of now

you can set a invalidation timer on your articles

so that it needs to be checked if it still exists after a certain period of time
