Passing parameters to the router line

Hello, sorry to bother you, but could you tell me if it is possible to build a URL address in which the :city parameter will specify different cities, for example: /fly-to-amsterdam or /fly-to-paris

I tried to make a router like /fly-to-:city, but it works as a static address.

I tried to use wildcard params and then define the parameter using the regular expression router.get('*', (ctx) => {...}). This works but breaks the static.

The /fly-to/:city format works, but does not suit the customer.

    Hi Oliver!

    Partial route parameters, like /fly-to-:city aren't supported by the AdonisJS Router at present. However, you can use a vague route parameter in conjunction with a route param validator to make this work.

    router.get('/:flyToCity', [Controller, 'handle']).where('flyToCity', /^fly-to-/)
    
  
    
    
    
      Copied!

    The where here is applying a validator to the route parameter, stating that the parameter should start with "fly-to-" in order for the route to match the definition.

    We have a lesson where we cover this using user profiles in our Let's Learn AdonisJS 6 series if you'd like to learn more!
