NestJS · Middle · Question 70 of 75

After upgrading to NestJS 11 (Express 5), a route `@Get('files/*')` stops matching as before. Why?

1GET routes need @All() now
✓Correct answer: Express 5 changed path syntax: wildcards must be named, e.g. files/*splat
3NestJS 11 removed wildcard routes completely

Explanation

Express 5 uses a newer path-to-regexp. Optional parts use braces too, like /users{/:id}. The Nest migration guide lists such changes.
