🔥 New

• ctx.Route().Params are now public 🔥 Feature Add ParamList Method to context #545 @zerbitx

What about hyphens in routes? It was planned for V1.11.

[ReneWerner87]

@invipal in the last version we had put more focus on stability, user friendliness and performance, so the feature has been dropped

but it will come in the next versions, i will work on it in the next days

[Fenny]

@invipal hyphen support is now available v1.12.+

// http://localhost:3000/plantae/prunus.persica
app.Get("/plantae/:genus.:species", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
  c.Params("genus")   // prunus
  c.Params("species") // persica
})

// http://localhost:3000/flights/LAX-SFO
app.Get("/flights/:from-:to", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
  c.Params("from")   // LAX
  c.Params("to")     // SFO
})

Thank you @Fenny, with this feature, Fiber now fully met our expectation for developing our next project.
