Redirects with wildcards

[devandnow]

Hi

I have a number of redirects from an old php site where the incoming url has a dynamic pattern that I want to redirect.

/Bill-Jones
/Bill-Jones-Director
/Bill-Jones-Project-Wilson

There's an unknown number of options that are incoming after the /Bill-Jones that aren't on the new site

I want to make next redirect all urls starting with /Bill-Jones to /artists/bill-jones

What I can't work out is how to do a wildcard on the incoming url for the redirect.

I've tried this from the docs but to no avail

{
    source: '/Bill-Jones\\(*\\)',
    destination: '/artists/bill-jones',
    permanent: true,
}

All help appreciated

Hi. Please, try the following code:

{
  source: '/Bill-Jones:path*',
  destination: '/artists/bill-jones',
  permanent: true,
},

@vadymshymko consider this situation here i need the wildcard field for the destination
/demo/1
/demo/2
/demo/3

so it should to redirect like
for /demo/1 => /example/1
/demo/2 => /example/2
/demo/3 => /example/3

// next.config.ts

import type { NextConfig } from 'next'
 
const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  async redirects() {
    return [ 
      // Wildcard path matching
      {
        source: '/blog/:slug',
        destination: '/news/:slug',
        permanent: true,
      },
    ]
  },
}
 
export default nextConfig
