Hi http4k!
Is it possible to have optional path segment? Like:

"/bar/" / Path.string().of(name = "foo")

comes

"/bar/" / Path.string().of(name = "foo").optional

So it would match both /bar/foo and /bar/

you could create 2 routes or?

yeah - there isn't the concept of an optional path param - you can map the same handler to both routes though

thanks, i will go with 2 routes option then!

fun execute() { execute(null) }
fun execute(name: String?)

"/match/" bindContract Method.GET to ::execute
"/match/" / Path.string().of(name = "foo") bindContract Method.GET to ::execute

something along these lines 🙂
