SSG behavior

[railty]

I tried SSG on a brand new scaffold vike app, the generated files are index.html and index.pageContext.json.

Is this by design? how is this affect SEO

I expect a html with the content embeded, not dynamic loaded.

Steps:

1. npm create vike@latest to create a react js app.
2. change vire.config.js to plugins: [react(), vike({prerender: true})]
3. create a js file "pages/star-wars/index/+onBeforePrerenderStart.js", which is
   `
   export { onBeforePrerenderStart }

function minimize(movies) {
return movies.map((movie) => {
const { title, release_date, id } = movie
return { title, release_date, id }
})
}

async function onBeforePrerenderStart() {
const response = await fetch('https://brillout.github.io/star-wars/api/films.json')
const moviesData = await response.json()
const movies = minimize(moviesData)
//console.log(movies);
const moviePageURLs = movies.map(movie => '/star-wars/' + movie.id)
console.log(moviePageURLs);
return moviePageURLs
}
`

4. npm run build

and I got `
ls dist\client\star-wars\1

Anyone? Let me clarify my question.

1. With my setup above, I am getting HTML files with JavaScript that dynamically load a JSON file. Am I doing this correctly?
2. this is not SSO-friendly, compared to static HTML files with embedded content, correct?

Thanks

If the content isn't in the HTML then you're doing some quite unusual.

If you believe it's a Vike bug then feel free to provide a reproduction that is minimal.

I agree, it seems I did something wrong, can amyone give a tutoral on setting up SSG?

I basicly did

1. npm create vike@latest to create a react js app.
2. change vire.config.js to plugins: [react(), vike({prerender: true})]
3. npm run build

`vike v0.4.176 pre-rendering HTML...
dist/client/index.pageContext.json
dist/client/about/index.html
dist/client/about/index.pageContext.json

`

I don't think "dist/client/about/index.pageContext.json" should be there, it should all in "dist/client/about/index.html"

What I missed?
