Dynamic routes can be extended to catch all paths by adding three dots (`...`) inside the brackets. For example:

- `pages/post/[...slug]` matches `/post/a`, but also `post/a/b`, `post/a/b/c` and so on.
- `pages/post/[...slug].js` matches `/post/a`, but also `post/a/b`, `post/a/b/c` and so on.

Matched parameters will be sent as a query parameter (`slug` in the example) to the page, and it will always be an array, so, the path `/post/a` will have the following `query` object:

# Catch All Routes Example

This example shows how to use [Catch all routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/routing/dynamic-routes#catch-all-routes) in Next.js, which allows a dynamic route to catch all paths.

The catch all page is in `pages/post/[...slug]`, it matches any path after `/post`, like the following:

- `/post/first-post`,
- `/post/2020/first-post`
- `/post/2020/first-post/with/catch/all/routes`
- Anything that matches the glob `/post/*`

You can use `next/link` as displayed in this example to route to these pages client side.

It's null in the first render, I thought that was expected because it doesn't have data requirements 🤔
