I always have I kinda rough time working with regexes. I'm trying to make a regex that matches routes, when the route has parameters set:
For instance:
/post/1 matches /post/{id}/post/5/ doesn't match /post/{id}/post/6/comments/4 matches /post/{id}/comments/{comment}/post/a-random-slug matches /post/{id} or /post/{slug} (whatever you want to name the param)/user matches /user, but not /user/What I currently did is create a regex for every route, and then match the current URI against that route regex.
What I currently have is:
In this example I try to make a regex for the route: /post/{param1}/{param2}. Meaning it should match /post/ then a parameter and another parameter, but nothing after that parameter.
As you can see: ^(\/post\b)(\/.{1,}\/)(.{1,}\b)$ matches /post/what-is-your-name/5, and when I add another / it doesnt match anymore. However if you add characters after that regex again it starts to match again.
Meaning that:
/post/what-is-your-name/5/ doesn't match/post/what-is-your-name/5/more does matchDoes anyone have an idea how I can accomplish the first example?
I'm by far someone who knows a lot about regexes, if someone sees a better way to match URIs against routes then please let me know.
