node express get route - node.js

Question

I need to create express route for the following url:
www.somesite.com/some-text-goes-here-id
In this case i want to have to parameters:
text: some-text-goes-here
id: id
Official documentation states the following example:
Route path: /flights/:from-:to
Request URL: http://localhost:3000/flights/LAX-SFO
req.params: { "from": "LAX", "to": "SFO" }
However in my case i need to have multiple '-' and only the last one should be id ...
This would be example
Route path: /flights/???
Request URL: http://localhost:3000/flights/some-text-goes-here-123
req.params: { "from": "some-text-goes-here", "to": "123" }
Im not sure if this is even possible to do this way?
Thanks

Answer 1

From docs:
Since the hyphen (-) and the dot (.) are interpreted literally, they
can be used along with route parameters for useful purposes.
So you can write just
Route path: /flights/some-text-goes-here-:id
Request URL: http://localhost:3000/flights/some-text-goes-here-123
req.params: { "id": "123" }

Answer 2

that is not possible. You can either have
/flights/:from/:to
then you can have
req.params: { "from": "some-text-goes-here", "to": "123" }
or have
/flights/:from-to-dest
then you can have
req.params: { "from-to-dest": "some-text-goes-to-123" }
and then split the text by delimiter -to- and take 2nd token
or split just by - and take last token.

I think I found out pretty easy way to do it:
Route path: /site/*-:id
Request URL: http://localhost:3000/site/some-text-goes-here-123
req.params: { "0": "some-text-goes-here", "id": "123" }
And if i just want to handle id below goes another route:
Route path: /site/:id
Request URL: http://localhost:3000/site/123
req.params: { "id": "123" }
Only downside here is that first param is unnamed "0".
