Can we make a splat path more specific than matching dynamic routes?

[kimroen]

We have an application with URLs that look something like this:

• /my-app/:type
• /my-app/:type/:id

At some point, we wanted to remove the "my-app" part, so we changed the paths to this instead:

• /:type
• /:type/:id

And then to not break existing links, we added a path that redirects from old paths to new paths, using a splat param:

• /my-app/*

The element for this path grabs the splat param, appends it to / and navigates to that page.

All good, except for a case like this:

• /my-app/doritos/

We expected this to navigate to /:type with :type = doritos, but instead it renders /:type/:id with :type = my-app and :id = doritos.

What could we do instead here? Any tips or ideas? Thanks!
