Optional route parameters with prefix

[paolosanchi]

I need to register to a state, a route where the parameters has a prefix and a slash (route/to/parPrefix1/:paramValue1/parPrefix2/:paramValue2) and these parameters are all optional, so if the parameter1 is not set, the resulting url should be: route/to/parPrefix2/value2

How can I handle this case?

Then I have a second issue: the date should be specified like this: 20/10/2015 If i solve the first point I could set a parameter per date part, however, is there a more elegant solution?

a real case url: /risultati/destinazioni/:destinations/localita/:locations/partenza/:startingDate/ritorno/:returningDate/adulti/:adults/bambini/:children/eta/:childrenAges/aeroporti/:airports/flessibile/:flexDate/

I red this issue, but it seems that my case is not handled.. am I right?:
#108

For the date, why not use dashes? And maybe use dashes where you think you have to use slashes?

yep, I could do it, but I have to maintain the retrocompatibility with the old urls..
Anyway, I've looked to the implementation of the UrlMatcher and figured out that there is no way to archive what I need, due to what is explaind in the documentation to.
So I had to add a new config to the params: prefix
I add a third way to automatically parse the prefix using the char before the prefix '!':

route/to/!parPrefix1/paramValue1/!parPrefix2/paramValue2

If anyone is interested I can make a fork

Doesn't that then break the old urls since you are adding new characters?

[paolosanchi]

it breaks the segment starting with ! because it recognize them as prefix of the following parameter..
Anyway.. it's just a shortcut to se the prefix setting in the value..
with my implementation you can set the parameters like this:

url: "route/to/parPrefix1/:param1/parPrefix2/:param2",
params: {
param1: {
value: "",
squash: true,
prefix: parPrefix1: "",
},
param2: {
value: "",
squash: true,
prefix: parPrefix2: "",
},
}

this way if the param1 has the default value, the parPrefix is squashed too..

I'm going to commit my changes.. and omitting the part of the ! placeholder
