Ambiguous method signature in ExpressJS. How to solve it?












0















I have two url signature



var userView = '/um/rest/queryview/:queryType/:queryRef'
var userDetail = '/um/rest/queryview/queryRef/:queryRef'

app.get(userView, function(req,res){console.log("userView")});
app.get(userDetail, function(req,res){console.log("user detail")});


If I fire http://localhost:8080/um/rest/queryview/queryRef/BH3RHM... the output turns out to be "userView" and not "user detail".



If I block the userView exposure /app.get(userView).../ then it works fine.



What is the best way to define the urls and it's methods then?

          You just need to change the order of the routes.
          Instead of:



          app.get(userView, function(req,res){console.log("userView")});
          app.get(userDetail, function(req,res){console.log("user detail")});


          You can do this:



          app.get(userDetail, function(req,res){console.log("user detail")});
          app.get(userView, function(req,res){console.log("userView")});


          This way express will try to match the userDetail url first, then try to match the userView url.
