How to perform nested routes in nestjs?

Question

I have a controller (articles).

It performs routes: /articles, /articles/:id and this is it.

I need also the following routes - /articles/creator/:creatorId, /articles/:id/like, /articles/:id/unlike, /articles/:id/comment and so on.

Whether I need static path or action it is nested and its not working.

Partial solution for me - Controller (articles), Controller (articles/creator), Controller (articles/like), Controller (articles/unlike).

But this is a dumb solution and the concept of paths and actions is lost.

Is there an elegant solution to fix this? And how to achieve this in best way?

The code:

@Controller('articles')
class ArticlesController{

@Get(':articleId')
getById(@Param('articleId') articleId){}

@Post(':articleId/like)
like(@Param('articleId') articleId){}

@Get('creator/:creatorId')
getByCreator(@Param('creatorId') creatorId:string){}

}

Please also include the relevant parts of your code in your question. (In this case your controller.) It makes answering your question easier. :-) — Kim Kern

Just as you have a dynamic route parameter for an article id, you can have one for an action as well:

@Controller('articles')
export class ArticlesController {

  @Get(':id/:action')
  findAll(@Param('id') id, @Param('action') action) {
    return `You chose ${action} for article ${id}`;
  }
