How to do filepath as a param in an RPC route?
Hey, I'm trying to fetch a file/folder with an RPC route and want to add the filepath to the URL as a param, but this doesn't work because then I get a 404.
Example:
/api/folders/:filepath -> /api/folders/foo/bar/baz
This results in a 404 because of the extra slashes is my guess.
I tried with a wildcard and that works when I use curl/fetch, but I don't know how to add the filepath to the url using RPC
/api/folders/folder/* ->
api.folders.folder['*'].$get() <- how to add /foo/bar/baz to this?
So I don't think wildcard is the way to go here, but I can't find anything about catch-all params or anything in the docs.4 Replies
Hi @Meexa you can achieve this by using regex. Here’s an example from the docs https://github.com/honojs/middleware

@Nico Is that the correct link? Where do I look for the example?
My apologies, here’s the right link https://hono.dev/docs/api/routing#including-slashes

Hey, I've had some time to look into this and I have this endpoint now
.get('/:filepath{.+}?', ...)
Then I can execute this function like so
The problem I have now is since filepath is optional, the filepath can be undefined. What happens then is that This request is made
http://localhost:3000/api/folders/undefined?
If I do this { filepath: filepath ?? '' } then the request is
http://localhost:3000/api/folders/?
Both requests fail. What am I doing wrong?
{ filepath: filepath ?? '/' } seems to work.
http://localhost:3000/api/folders//?
Not sure how to get rid of the ? though
