Capture all url segments after the initial match with Nancy - nancy

Question

I would like to have nancy rule that matches/captures all url segments after the initial match.
For example I would like to do this:
have a url like: /views/viewname/pageid/visitid/someother
and a rule like this:
Get["/views/{view}/{all other values}"] = parameters =>
{
string view = parameters.view;
List<string> listOfOtherValues = all other parameters..
return ...
};
listOfOtherValues would end up being:
pageid
visitid
someother
I would also like to do this for querystring parameters.
given the a url like: /views/viewname?pageid=1&visitid=34&someother=hello
then listOfOtherValues would end up being:
1
34
hello
Is this even possible with Nancy?

Answer 1

For your first problem you can use regular expression as well as simple names to define your capture groups. So you just define a catch all RegEx.
For your second, you just need to enumerate through the Request.Query dictionary.
Here is some code that demonstrates both in a single route.
public class CustomModule : NancyModule
{
public CustomModule() {
Get["/views/{view}/(?<all>.*)"] = Render;
}
private Response Render(dynamic parameters) {
String result = "View: " + parameters.view + "<br/>";
foreach (var other in ((string)parameters.all).Split('/'))
result += other + "<br/>";
foreach (var name in Request.Query)
result += name + ": " + Request.Query[name] + "<br/>";
return result;
}
}
With this in place you can call a URL such as /views/home/abc/def/ghi/?x=1&y=2 and get the output
View: home
abc
def
ghi
x: 1
y: 2
Note:
The foreach over Request.Query is support in v0.9+
