useRoutes() Path Regex

[goneglobal]

Before in v4 I would do the following.
It would only match if the path was /profile/<10 digit number> and provide the number as a param.

<Route path="/profile/:userid([0-9]{10})" component={Profile} />

Is there a way to regex url's like this in v6?
Or another solution to match like this.
If not I can put some logic in the component to handle it and navigate away if needed.
But I wanted to ask.

thank-you & V6 looks great!!

No, because we no longer use the underlying path-to-regexp library. There are some thoughts about doing validation on paths, but nothing's been built yet.

What about lefthand-side wildcards? I have to catch anything that ends with */auth

I know there is a problem with ranking conflict paths like /:param(first|second) and /:param([a-z]+), but if it is the only problem you can add an attribute "order" or "priority" to the Route component and let the developer to explicit sorts it. like:

<Route path="/:param(first|second)" order={0} element={<FirstSecondComponent/>}/>
<Route path="/:param([a-z]+)" order={1} element={<AnyWordComponent/>}/>

There is no sense on validating params on component rendering and throws another component, it makes a bad designed component. And you will need to replicate this validation through the rest of components.
