## Describe your question/issue in detail

Hello, thank you for your help. I am building a SvelteKit based site and having trouble understanding how to properly config the routes.

I have a menu with one level deep, lets say:

home  
contact us

- write us
- directory

The "directory" and "write us" page have a relationship of the type category called "contact-us"

I noticed that I can access this pages either way:

[https://mysite.com/directory](https://mysite.com/directory)  
or  
[https://mysite.com/contact-us/directory](https://mysite.com/contact-us/directory)

However, I want /contact-us/directory to be the only way to access this page.

My current file structure:

[[preview==preview]]

- [category]  
-- [uid]  
---+page.svelte  
---+page.server.js  
-[uid]  
--+page.svelte  
--+page.server.js

My prismicio file config:

```auto
const routes = [
	{
		type: 'page',
		uid: 'home',
		path: '/'
	},
	{
		type: 'page',
		path: '/:uid',
	},
];

```

After reading the documentation, [Routes — Prismic Docs](https://prismic.io/docs/route-resolver#route-resolve), I have tried a few ways of adding the route with a resolver :

```auto
	{
		type: 'page',
		path: '/:category/:uid',
              resolvers:{
                 category: 'category'
              }
	},

```

But I get error 500.

Console error:

```auto
  response: {
[vite:dev] type: 'Link resolver error',
[vite:dev] message: '[Link resolver error] Invalid resolver category\n' +
[vite:dev] 'It must be a content relationship linked to one and only one custom typ'
[vite:dev] }
[vite:dev] }

```

I would really appreciate your help to help me understand this. I think the relationship is linked to only one type, so it is kinda confusing.

Thanks again!

Figured this out. Thanks.

Within the docs, resolvers: {category: 'category'} makes it confusing.

resolvers: { dynamicpathname: 'relationship-API-id' } is how I finally understood.

Hi @meevo ,

Welcome to the community 🙂

If you share your route resolver and your API IDs for the fields and their custom type IDs we can help you build this.
