I wanted to create an API in CLokure/Compojure that accepted an arbitrary number or parameters. I’m using Luminus framework, and I have generated an app using the +service template, which creates a RESTful API (see here for details).

The API uses compojure-api which is based on compojure which uses clout as routing syntax.

Compojure supports regular expression to define parameters, so it’s quite straightforward to use them in compojure-api:

     (GET "/foo/first/:first/:others{.*}" []
          :return s/Any
          :path-params [first :- s/Any others :- s/Any]

          (ok (str "First: " first " Others: " others))
          )

That’s it.
