  You should be able to use Hooks to get document data

  Yeah I saw the documention on this hooks existence but the only valuable information I could find returned from this hook was the doc's slug, but, I need more than that.

  
  
  

  Specifically I need the doc's slug and the id of the category it is related to so I can fetch that category and generate the URL since the URL structure is

  https://mywebsite/category/slug

  You only got the slug back?

  
  
  

  Can I check out your usage of the hook?

  No I got a bunch of other values, but, none of them looked like it would give me what I needed, kinda wish the docuementation explained what some of the values are

  I can review it with you if you post the returned value here

  Oh on second glance it may be the

  initialData

  , if not I can post the returned value, let me test this real quick though

  initialData
