Astro Pagination for SSG pages with type support

So after fiddling around and checking Astro’s discord I got an implementation working to use the paginate helper function within getStaticPaths with type support.

To use Astro’s pagination helpers the template file needs to be either:

• [page].astro or [...page].astro
• The template has to set export const prerender = true
• For type support the GetStaticPaths type has to be imported and implemented via the satisifies directive

---
import type { GetStaticPaths } from "astro";
export const prerender = true;

export const getStaticPaths = (async ({ paginate }) => {
  const posts = await getCollection('posts');
  return paginate(posts, { pageSize: 10 });

}) satisfies GetStaticPaths;

Astro Pagination in SSR mode

When rendering pages entirely on the server the paginate function will not be available and you will have to implement your own pagination functions.
