Fetch request moralis

Moralis General
#1

Is it possible to make a fetch request normally to teh database without using the Moralis.query or useMoralisQuery

#2

You can call a cloud function with rest and a cloud function can make that query.

#3

How exactly would I do this syntactically

#4

What part you don’t know how to do?

#5

What I’m trying to do is dynamically render pages with NextJS using the getStaticPaths function.

My code looks something like this

export const getStaticPaths = async () => {
  const { data: AllMails, error, isLoading } = useMoralisQuery("AllMails");
  const paths = AllMails.map((mail) => {
    return {
      params: { id: mail.attributes.mailID },
    };
  });

  return {
    paths,
    fallback: false,
  };
};

Now for some reason I’m getting a TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'useContext') pointing at the useMoralisQuery hook. I have no idea why this is happening but i do know that making normal fetch requests work as expected.

Thats why i asked if there was a way to make a regular fetch request straight to my moralis DB and get all the information i need.
Id appreciate the feedback!!

Does Moralis.Query not work? Another option is to set up a cloud function that queries the data, and then you can call that cloud function over REST API.

You can only use hooks like useMoralisQuery inside function components (or other hooks), that is why you’re getting that error.

Moralis.Query should work, but the problem is getting Moralis into the function to work. I’d try out the cloud function now and give a feedback

Awesome!. Thanks it worked!
