Can you opt out of Next.js 14 cache for static sites e.g. output: "export"?

Question

Running next build with output: "export" caches the API calls, meaning any changes do not appear in the resulting static files. Is there any way to disable the caching, or get new data when running the build?

setup:

• app router
• next 14
• config: output: "export"
• command: next build

issue:

• content generated in out folder is stale

Answer 1

Problem :

Is there any way to disable the caching, or get new data when running the build?

Possible Cause :

• By default, Next.js automatically caches the returned values of fetch in the Data Cache on the server.

Possible Solution :

Set the cache option for individual fetch requests to 'no-store' :

fetch('https://...', { cache: 'no-store' }) 

---

Set Route Segment Config Options in your layout.tsx/js or page.tsx/js or route.ts/js (add this line at top of the file) :

export const fetchCache = 'force-no-store'
