The route in question is something like this: chats/5de3e056c022b2b3252dab43/messages but I cant seem to find a relatively straightforward way to retrieve the ID (5de3e056c022b2b3252dab43) and its nowhere to be found (yes I can parse the url but I was hoping there is a better way - something along the lines of req.params.id)
Basically this is what the CTX object looks like:
{
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"url": "/chats/5de3e056c022b2b3252dab43/messages",
"header": {
"authorization": "Bearer ******",
"user-agent": "PostmanRuntime/7.19.0",
"accept": "*/*",
"cache-control": "no-cache",
"postman-token": "e320fdc2-81a5-4f36-a4d1-ec621188e27d",
"host": "localhost:1337",
"accept-encoding": "gzip, deflate",
"connection": "keep-alive"
}
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"message": "OK",
"header": {
"vary": "Origin",
"content-security-policy": "img-src 'self' http:; block-all-mixed-content",
"strict-transport-security": "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains",
"x-frame-options": "SAMEORIGIN",
"x-xss-protection": "1; mode=block",
"content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
"x-powered-by": "Strapi <strapi.io>"
}
},
"app": {
"subdomainOffset": 2,
"proxy": false,
"env": "development"
},
"originalUrl": "/chats/5de3e056c022b2b3252dab43/messages",
"req": "<original node req>",
"res": "<original node res>",
"socket": "<original node socket>"
}
If you have a custom route like this /chats/:id/messages
In your controller, you will be able to access to the ID of the chat by using ctx.params.id
