Do this
router.get('/user/:username', controllers.red); controllers.red = function(req, res, next) { console.log(req.params.username); }Feature request: Ability to rename routes
-
The ability to easily rename route slugs is high on my wishlist. For example, I'd like to have
/forums/instead of/categories//forum/3/instead of/category/3//members/instead of/users/Currently, routes seem to be hard-coded and changing them is kind of difficult.
-
It would probably be better to be able to add alias's for them. Since if you can easily change them, it would easily invalidate a lot of links.
And then I said: NodeBB!? Are you crazy!?
-
@yariplus I think the alias idea is a bad one because you'd end up with lots of duplicate content.
-
@henrywright Ah right. Could go either way..
-
Well aliasing wouldn't create duplicate content, you would just exclude the duplicate routes from your robots.txt
-
@pitaj that's true but if not done properly, aliasing links could be very dangerous for a site's search engine ranking. Personally, I wouldn't go down that route (no pun intended ha).
