angular ngRoute optional paths

Question

I have the following routes that I'd like to match

/biblioteca
/biblioteca/whatever

So far now I made two routes, like this:

$routeProvider.when('/biblioteca', { ...
$routeProvider.when('/biblioteca/:path*', { ...

Is there some way to capture both of them with a single route, stating that the :path* part is optional? perhaps something like...

$routeProvider.when('/biblioteca/:?path*', { ...

what would be the correct way to handle such a case?

Put the question mark after the named group.

$routeProvider.when('/biblioteca/:path?', { ...

path can contain optional named groups with a question mark: e.g.:name?.
