glob pattern in exceptRoutes field of config/shield.ts

[iammrsea]

Is there any way I can add a glob pattern in exceptRoutes in config/shield.ts?
I tried something like this:

//config/shield.ts
exceptRoutes: ["/api/v1/**"]

but it didn't work. It only worked when I write the route in full. I have quite a few routes to except because my app is both web and api server for a mobile app, and it's a pain to register all the routes individually.

Don't think so, since it uses String.includes internally with route pattern

To mach all API routes you can just make it '/api/v1/' downside is tho that it also matches '/foo/bar/api/v1/'
For more dynamic you can try to use smth like /api/v1/:id/foo/, but not sure if that would match '/api/v1/10/foo/' or not (I'm not sure what's route pattern used internally

Followed the link you posted above route pattern used internally and it turned out that it actually uses Array.prototype.includes and not String.prototype.includes, consequently, the solution does not work because Array.prototype.includes checks for exact match.
Thanks for the effort though

Yes, currently shield allows defining route patterns and not glob patterns. I believe, I can add support for a function that must return a boolean.

exceptRoutes: (ctx) => {
   // perform your check
   return true // to ignore
   return false // to not ignore
}

That would be great. For the time being, I will make do with typing out all the routes individually.
