Defining routes as both nested and top level about nest-router HOT 3 OPEN

I ran into a similar issue and I got around it by doing a bit more leg work. What you could do for the time being is create a new Module called BoardStoryModule and extend your story module, then import the BoardStoryModule into your routing document and use it.

from nest-router.

well, in this case, I'd recommend using regex to match both paths, since I think that the only way we can do it since Nestjs is already supporting path regex:
The best regex here should be: ^boards\/(?:([^\/]+?))\/stories|^stories(?=\/|$)

I know it seems complicated, but can we do better?

We have a similar issue, with dynamic modules.

When trying to setup the router on two different modules utilising the same shared module dynamically initialised.

Setup as follows:

const AnimalModuleInstance1: DynamicModule = {
    module: SharedModuleWithRoutes,
};

const AnimalModuleInstance2: DynamicModule = {
    module: SharedModuleWithRoutes,
};

const DOG_ROUTES: Routes = [
    {
        path: '/1/',
        module: DogModule,
        children: [
            AnimalModuleInstance1.module,
        ]
    }
];

const CAT_ROUTES: Routes = [
    {
        path: '/2/',
        module: CatModule,
        children: [
            AnimalModuleInstance2.module,
        ]
    }
];

We run into issues as the router module tries to reference the module based on the nestModule.metatype which will be "SharedModuleWithRoutes"

setting the base path to either /2/ or /1/ to both modules depending on which module is initialised last.

changing the reflector to use the module object reference rather than the metatype seems to resolve our issue - however will not work if string based module references are allowed in children property interface.

- const modulePath: string = Reflect.getMetadata(MODULE_PATH, nestModule.metatype);
+ const modulePath: string = Reflect.getMetadata(MODULE_PATH, nestModule);
