Just one wildcard route for nested routes? about svelte-spa-router HOT 3 CLOSED

You can totally do /books* but that would lead to unexpected consequences, such as matching /booksmart too. Hence the recommendation to use both /books and /books/*, which comes from https://github.com/lukeed/regexparam (the library used to parse the strings)

Having to define the route twice is an annoyance, but it should be a relatively minor one...

If you absolutely needed to define the route only once, you should look into defining it using a custom regular expression, which however requires using maps rather than objects with this router. With your example:

const routes = new Map()
routes.set(/^\/books(\/(.*))?/i, Books)

This matches both /books (but not /booksmart) and /books/*

@ItalyPaleAle I have read all about that.

The issue (exposed not very clearly, I admit) is this:

If I need to handle an URL like: mydomain.com/#/books (without final slash /) I need two routes like this:

routes = {
  '/books': Books,
  '/books/*': Books,
}

Is there a way to handle both #/books and #/books/* with just one route?

Is it clear now?
