Child routes with parent modules

[btd1337]

How to use child routes with parent modules?

The only way I managed to make the child route work was:

// app.routes.ts

export const routes: Routes = [{
        path: 'banks',
	module: BanksModule,
	children: [
	    {
	        path: 'account',
		module: BankAccountsModule,
	    },
	],
}];

@Module({
    imports: [
        RouterModule.forRoutes(routes),
        BanksModule
        BankAccountsModule      // Child module is imported directly in AppModule
     ]
})
export class AppModule {}

app.module
        | banks.module
        | bankaccounts.module

```ts
@Controller('/banks')
export class BanksController implements CrudController<Bank> {

@Controller()
export class BankAccountsController implements CrudController<BankAccount> {

This http request below return all bank accounts

GET /banks/account

but...

GET /banks/

return:

{
    "statusCode": 404,
    "message": "Cannot GET /banks",
    "error": "Not Found"
}

All other ways return `/banks` but `banks/account` returns:

```json
{
    "statusCode": 400,
    "message": "Invalid param id. UUID string expected",
    "error": "Bad Request"
}

Using nested module

but if you try to use nested module, it will to fail.

@Module({
    imports: [
        RouterModule.forRoutes(routes),
        BanksModule
     ]
})
export class AppModule {}

@Module({
	imports: [
             BankAccountsModule      // Child module is imported in your parent module
       ]
})
export class BanksModule {}

app.module
        | banks.module
                | bankaccounts.module

I already tried to remove and add tags to BankAccount Controller but nothing makes it work the second way.

I think it is the right way to implement nested routes with parent modules.

But how to make this work with nest-router?

Update: I think that is any error with Nestjs Crud library.

Any update on this? Did you find a solution cause I'm having the same problem and I don't wanna redefine all my nested modules in AppModule.

when you assign value to @Controller, nest router will add as suffix to path.

try request to /banks/account/banks.

@Controller('/banks') should be @Controller().

or you can specify app.routes.ts like this

export const routes: Routes = [{
        path: '/',
	module: BanksModule,
	children: [
	    {
	        path: 'account',
		module: BankAccountsModule,
	    },
	],
}];
