NestJS proceed with default routing behavior when needed

Question

I have created a wildcard route in my App.controller.ts, in order to catch certain URL requests and handle them. But in case if path contains /API/ - i want to pass handling back to other controllers ( like 'api/user', 'api/something').

Here is my code:

@Get('*/')
  getResources(@Res() res: Response, @Req() req: Request): void {
    if(req.path.startsWith('/api/')){
      // HERE I NEED TO RETURN HANDLING BACK TO 'api/*' controllers
      // Something like next(); - but it doesn't work here - i tried
    }
    // Some other logic
  }

Expected result:

GET <>/banana - // Some other logic GET <>/apple - // Some other logic GET <>/api/user - // Data from api/user controller

I believe this would work for you

@Controller()
export class MyController {

  @Get('/api') // or /api/*
  async api(): Promise<string> {
    return 'API endpoint';
  }

  @Get('*')
  async other(): Promise<string> {
    return 'Not API'
  }
}

When /api is found it would be handled in api method and everything else will fall back to the other method.
