named groups in regex routers not supported?

[its-dibo]

// /regex/hello -> matches
app.get(/\/regex\/(.+)/, (req, res) => res.json({ params: req.params }));

//named groups not suppoted?
//  /regex/hello -> error
app.get(/\/regex2\/(?<groupname>.+)/, (req, res) =>
  res.json({ params: req.params })
);

when using named capture groups, I got the following error

TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

No, they are not supported, but no reason why support cannot be added 👍 . If you (or anyone else) would like to add support for this, please go ahead and open a pull request against our router engine code: https://github.com/pillarjs/router
