Overlapping dynamic routes.

[wotta]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to get the concept of overlapping dynamic routes working.
The main concept of what I am building is a category/post like structure that is merged together.

This may be a bit vague but I will try to elaborate it.

Currently, I have the following structure:

• _categories
  • php
    • laravel
      • main.md
      • extra.md
  • javascript
    • next
      • main.md
• pages
  • [category] ( folder )
    • index.js
    • [package].js

I would like to enable dynamic category paths in the index.js so I can visit them using the Link element.

This I had working but I ran into the following problem, I could not get the [package].js working correctly because I could not get the current category in the getStaticPaths function.

Is there a way I can get this working?
I don't have a demo repo yet because the current repo is private but if anyone would like to have a demo repo with the current code I could quickly make one.

If there is not a real way to do this I can always change my code up a bit but I don't like the idea to have the main category folders in my pages folder.

So in my search of getting the overlapping dynamic routes working I found the following PR #9565.

Take a look at the following file: https://github.com/zeit/next.js/pull/9565/files/test/integration/prerender-invalid-paths/pages/[foo]/[post].js
