title: Invalid Page / API Route Config
---

## Why This Error Occurred

In one of your pages or API Routes, you used `export const config` with an invalid value.

## Possible Ways to Fix It

- The page's `config` must be an object initialized directly when being exported and not modified dynamically.
- The `config` object must only contain static constant literals without expressions.

<tr>
<td>

```js
// `config` should be an object
export const config = 'hello world'
```

</td>
<td>

```js
export const config = {}
```

</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>

```js
// `config.runtime` contains a dynamic expression
export const config = {
  runtime: `node${'js'}`,
}
```

</td>
<td>

```js
export const config = {
  runtime: 'nodejs',
}
export const config = {
  runtime: `edge`,
}
```

</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>

```js
// Re-exported `config` is not allowed
export { config } from '../config'
```

</td>
<td>

```js
export const config = {}
```

</td>
</tr>

</tbody>
</table>
