Ember nested global routes (Wildcard)

Question

I'm trying to do something like this in my routes:

this.route('products', { path: "/products/*choises"}, function() {
   this.route('promotion', {path: "/promotion/*offers"});
}); 

product route:

    offerPath: function(params){
      this.transitionTo('product.promotion', params);
    }

The problem is that it doesn't matter the promotion that I visit, the app thinks is part of the products route. How can I do this? I need them to be nested.

Update: You can use beforeModel(transition) hook in router to check what's in the url.

http://example.com/products/manufacturer-209/series-881/tag-17143/none/494822/f‌​lawless

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({

  beforeModel(transition) {
    console.log(transition.params.products.choises)
   // if you use this url: http://example.com/products/manufacturer-209/series-881/tag-17143/none/494822/f‌​lawless
   // console log would be: "manufacturer-209/series-881/tag-17143/none/494822/f‌​lawless"
  }

});

At least you have the rest of the url so, you can filter out the important information and redirect with this.transitionTo() to the exact place.

You could have the following route:

http://example.com/products/123/promotions/456

or

http://example.com/products/awesome_souce/promotions/monday_deal

In the first case, your route would look like this:

this.route('product', { path: "/products/:product_id"}, function() {
  this.route('promotion', {path: "/promotions/:promotion_id"});
});

In the second case, maybe like this:

this.route('product', { path: "/products/:product_name"}, function() {
  this.route('promotion', {path: "/promotions/:promotion_name"});
});

Finally, your route handlers can download the proper models (example for the first case):

// app/routes/product.js
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model(params) {
    return this.store.findRecord('product', params.product_id);
  }
});

// app/routes/product/promotion.js
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model(params) {
    // you can get access to the parent route model if you need for the api query
    const product = this.modelFor('product');
    return this.store.findRecord('promotion', params.promotion_id);
  }
});

If you need only the param from the product route, instead of returning a whole record, for example you can just return params.product_name, so you will have access to a string with this.modelFor('product') in a subroute level.
