I’ve been searching the docs for this but either I can’t find it or don’t understand how to implement it.

I have the following that retrieves a record using an ID:

```
$app->get('/api/user/{id}, function ($request, $response, $args) {
    $id = $args['id'];
    echo $id;
});

```

and also wanted to retrieve a record using a username, i.e.

```
$app->get('/api/user/{username}, function ($request, $response, $args) {
  $username = $args['username'];
  echo $username;
});

```

but adding those two, gives me an error unless I replace the user route with ‘/api/user/test/{username}’.  
I would like to use the ‘/api/user/’ path so what would be the correct code for this?

**EDIT:** NVM, Found out about $app-\>group() 🙂
