Catalyst - How to get the current URL in server side rendering?

[kathir-arizon]

Hi @chanceaclark ,

I tried to get the current page URL on the server side but it is not working as expected.

I have set some request headers in the middleware file. It is correctly mapped on every page request. When I tried to retrieve the value on the server side like the root layout file it worked perfectly fine on the localhost but when we deploy the code on the vercel. The next/headers always return null.

Is there any other to achieve this? I can see product page search params are working as expected. Kindly let me know how to get the current pathname or page URL.

Thanks,
Kathir

next/headers will return empty if being ran on a page using const dynamic = 'force-static';. This is always going to be the case for the guest shopper flows as we want those page visits to be as fast as possible. We have some documentation outlining it: https://www.catalyst.dev/docs/caching#guest-vs-logged-in-customer-caching
