TSOA - Route Versioning

[bellaabdelouahab]

In our previous behavior, we used to do something like this:

routes
app.use(
    `/api`,
    routesVersioning()({
        '1.0.0': indexRouter,
    })
);

but now that we have switched to TSOA, we do not have the option to control what routes get triggered based on api version in the header

RegisterRoutes(app);

so we will need a new approach for API versioning

[muttaqin1]

This middleware will be initialized before all the routes.

const version_middleware= (req, res, next) => {
  const acceptedVersion = req.get('accept-version')
  const basePath = '/api'
  const routePath = `${basePath}/${acceptedVersion}`
  req.url = req.url.replace(basePath, routePath) //Modify the request url to route to the versioned controller.
  next();
}

NOTE: This is just my idea. Test this and let me know if this works or not.

@muttaqin1 I've already tested it; it changed the url, but the url that controls the request is not changeable. you can only change which function to call
