Hi Education Team, I'm using Next.js with Prismic and I was wondering if it's possible to query (server-side) data inside a slice, for example, if I have a slice that needs to get the amount of stars a certain GitHub repo has to then display it.

Ah nice! I managed to do what I wanted but this is definitely super useful to know, thx :slight_smile:

Great! Let me know if you have any other questions :slight_smile:

The example shared does not make sense, how can I access props.data and pass it down to each slice

Hi @spacesharkmedia , I'd be happy to help you work through this. Could you share your project files with me, and let me know what you're trying to accomplish? You can send me your files in a DM as a ZIP file or git repo. Sam

Thanks, @spacesharkmedia , I'll take a look tomorrow :slight_smile:

Hi @spacesharkmedia , I'm playing with this, and I have one initial question: does it work if you remove the function invocation, getStaticProps(), near the bottom of the component? Let me know if not, and I'll keep trying to debug. Sam
