Do I need to make an index.get.ts file or is there a way to get [...path].get.ts to catch the root?
I have a server route path such that
notebook/[...path].get.ts works to catch any notebook/woo routes but not the notebook/ route. Is there a way to get the catch all route to apply to the root/index route without creating a index.ts file?2 Replies
Hi @avalanche. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't a direct way to make a catch-all route like
[...path].get.ts also handle the root route without creating a separate index.ts file. However, there are a couple of approaches you can consider:
1. Create a separate index.get.ts file:
This is the most straightforward solution. You would have both notebook/[...path].get.ts and notebook/index.get.ts files.
2. Use a catch-all route with an optional parameter:
Instead of [...path].get.ts, you could try using [[...path]].get.ts. This syntax for optional catch-all routes is mentioned in the Vue Router documentation, which Nuxt uses under the hood. However, it's not explicitly mentioned in the Nuxt documentation, so it may not work as expected.
3. Use route rules:
You could potentially use route rules to redirect the root route to your catch-all handler. However, this approach is not clearly documented for your specific use case.
If you want to ensure that both the root route and nested routes are handled, the safest and most well-documented approach is to create separate index.get.ts and [...path].get.ts files.
For more information on Nuxt's routing and server handlers, you can refer to:
- Nuxt Server Directory Structure
- Nuxt Catch-all Route
Remember that Nuxt's server routes are built on top of Nitro, and some advanced routing features might require diving into Nitro's documentation for more detailed information.
