Chaplin router optional parameters

I am working on ChaplinJS (backbone framework). Following is my route.js code block.

return function(match) {        
    match(':customer/getCardsNavSummary', {controller:'customer', action:'showPlan'});
    match(':customer/getCardsNavSummary/:plan/:row', {controller:'customer', action:'showPlan'});
};

Instead, I want to do the following

return function(match) {
        match(':customer/getCardsNavSummary(/:plan/:row)', {controller:'customer', action:'showPlan'});
    };

This works well foe Backbone. I went through the routing code for rails also, and there it works. But when it comes to chaplinjs it don't !

In chaplinJS doc i did not find any thing related to router optional parameters.

Chaplin.Router does not extend Backbone.Router. As far as i know, what you trying to achieve is not possible with the Chaplin.Router.

As your desired endpoint is the same for both routes (customer:showPlan), one possible workaround is to use the constraints option with a regexp that matches both getCardsNavSummary and getCardsNavSummary-plan-row pattern and then, in the Controller, check and parse this endpoint as needed.
