Routing a dynamic page

Support
1

I’m working on a side project but I couldn’t reach a dynamic route when I click a link like this:

https://themarket-place.netlify.app/contact/:token

Webpage url:
https://themarket-place.netlify.app/

Can anyone help on this forum?

Hi @OdofinG,

How do you plan on rendering that page? Are you using Server Side Rendering?

No, I hosted Frontend (react) on netlify and backend on heroku I thought I could hit a dynamic route with netlify

I don’t think there can be any automatic configuration in this case. You can use serverless functions to render content dynamically, but the exact route you’re trying won’t work.

5

In short, you can try to send all pages from /contact/* to a serverless function and probably setup a middleware there, or not - depending on the path you wish to choose. In that function, you would have to write up logic to generate a HTML page on the fly and send it back to the client side.

Can you teach me how to do that using serverless function?

Also, how can I customize my error 404 page?

Example here: GitHub - philhawksworth/virtual-lolly: JAMstack demo site - prerendered with serverless API fallbacks

Docs here:Redirect options | Netlify Docs

I’ve shared the required resources and approach above. Did you take a loom at that?
