Description

Hello guys. I'm trying to create prerender-urls with some simple metadata for routes in my website, but looks like it's impossible now.

My prerender-urls.js looks like:

module.exports = function() {
  return [
    {
      url: "/",
      title: "Main page"
    },
    {
      url: "/catalog/:id",
      title: "Catalogue"
    }
  ];
};

But it is not working. My route in application also defined for path /catalog/:id. If i replace :id with some existing id for my catalog page, for example, 3031 it works as expected. How can I achieve this with preact-cli for dynamic urls? Thank you.

Research direction
The issue asks for support of dynamic route parameters (e.g., '/catalog/:id') in prerender urls.js. To implement, one would need to modify the prerender plugin to expand placeholders like ':id' into actual values or generate a generic pattern. Relevant code likely resides in the preact cli's prerender module, possibly in 'src/lib/prerender.js' or the prerender configuration handler.
