Section titled What went wrong?

Since params are encoded into the URL, only certain types are supported as values.

/route/[id].astro
---
export async function getStaticPaths() {
  return [
    { params: { id: '1' } } // Works
    { params: { id: 2 } } // Works
    { params: { id: false } } // Does not work
  ];
}
---

In routes using rest parameters, undefined can be used to represent a path with no parameters passed in the URL:

/route/[...id].astro
---
export async function getStaticPaths() {
  return [
    { params: { id: 1 } } // /route/1
    { params: { id: 2 } } // /route/2
    { params: { id: undefined } } // /route/
  ];
}
