Static backend method names must be unique accross all controllers, or URLs clash?

Hi,

exploring Remult for the first time, and it seems awesome, but I'm stuck with this:

Static backend methods are always routed to /api/methodName and I can't find a way to change that. Is there? Eg. I have AController and BController, both have a static method hello. When I call hello of either controller in the frontend, requests go to /api/hello and call the method in AController. I would like URLs something like /api/[optional_global_prefix_for_static_medhods]/ControllerA/hello.

I tried adding the Controller decorator but it's type argument has no effect on this.

Hi @SpeedoPasanen,
In the latest release v0.20.2
We've added an option for the backend method called apiPrefix to help you achieve what you've wanted.

class myClass{
  @BackendMethod({allowed:true, apiPrefix:'prefixa/prefixb'})
  static async methodName(){
    return "works"
  }
}

Will result in an api:
/api/prefixa/prefixb/methodName

This will help you organize your backend methods api

Can you take the latest version, try it out and let me know if it works for you?

It works perfectly, thank you ♥♥♥

@noam-honig
My suggestion is to take the name of the class or the file as part of the path.
like: /api/myClass/methodName in the above example.
What do you think?

Hi @aepshtin - that is not possible because many frontend bundlers change the class name as they create the bundle, and this will cause a mismatch between for front and back
