Ember nested global routes (Wildcard) - ember.js

Question

I'm trying to do something like this in my routes:
this.route('products', { path: "/products/*choises"}, function() {
this.route('promotion', {path: "/promotion/*offers"});
});
product route:
offerPath: function(params){
this.transitionTo('product.promotion', params);
}
The problem is that it doesn't matter the promotion that I visit, the app thinks is part of the products route.
How can I do this? I need them to be nested.

Update:
You can use beforeModel(transition) hook in router to check what's in the url.
http://example.com/products/manufacturer-209/series-881/tag-17143/none/494822/f‌​lawless
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
beforeModel(transition) {
console.log(transition.params.products.choises)
// if you use this url: http://example.com/products/manufacturer-209/series-881/tag-17143/none/494822/f‌​lawless
// console log would be: "manufacturer-209/series-881/tag-17143/none/494822/f‌​lawless"
}
});
At least you have the rest of the url so, you can filter out the important information and redirect with this.transitionTo() to the exact place.
You could have the following route:
http://example.com/products/123/promotions/456
or
http://example.com/products/awesome_souce/promotions/monday_deal
In the first case, your route would look like this:
this.route('product', { path: "/products/:product_id"}, function() {
this.route('promotion', {path: "/promotions/:promotion_id"});
});
In the second case, maybe like this:
this.route('product', { path: "/products/:product_name"}, function() {
this.route('promotion', {path: "/promotions/:promotion_name"});
});
Finally, your route handlers can download the proper models (example for the first case):
// app/routes/product.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model(params) {
return this.store.findRecord('product', params.product_id);
}
});
---
// app/routes/product/promotion.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model(params) {
// you can get access to the parent route model if you need for the api query
const product = this.modelFor('product');
return this.store.findRecord('promotion', params.promotion_id);
}
});
If you need only the param from the product route, instead of returning a whole record, for example you can just return params.product_name, so you will have access to a string with this.modelFor('product') in a subroute level.
