# Catch All Routes Example

This example shows how to use [Catch all routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/routing/dynamic-routes#catch-all-routes) in Next.js, which allows a dynamic route to catch all paths.

The catch all page is in `pages/post/[...slug]`, it matches any path after `/post`, like the following:

- `/post/first-post`,
- `/post/2020/first-post`
- `/post/2020/first-post/with/catch/all/routes`
- Anything that matches the glob `/post/**`

You can use `next/link` as displayed in this example to route to these pages client side.
