Upgrade path-to-regexp to version 1.7.0

[abumq]

Is it safe to upgrade to version 1.7.0 of underlying path matching lib path-to-regexp? Latest i.e, version 3 but i am not fussed. I need features from version 1.7.0 specifically matching something like /user/(profile|settings)/:user_id

Unfortunately it is not backwards compatible so cannot be upgraded in express 4.x. It will be upgraded in the next express 5.x release coming shortly, though.

@abumusamq Do you feel that the question was addressed?

If so, would it be alright to close the issue?

Just thinking of keeping the issues list down to the items that still need to be addressed to maximize the value of the limited time the maintainers have to review issues.

Also for reference: pillarjs/router#42

For express 5.0 the package will be a transitive dependency via router. Once that Pr is merged, you can use the 2.0 version of the router in any existing express app:

$ npm i [email protected]

Then in your app:

const router = require('router')

app.use(router)

Hope that helps!
