I currently am looking to mess around with a new style of urls:

• w3.org/Provider/Style/URI
• https://www.nngroup.com/articles/url-as-ui/
• http://jarlowrey.com/blog/urls-are-ui-rails-5.html

I have tried using default OctoberCMS page/component creation, but the redirect part is where I have hit a wall...

Let's pretend we're using an Event model:

• If we go to /event/event_id/slug then we can load the page. Success!
• If we go to /event/event_id/bad_slug_name the routing should look at the event_id and redirect to a url with the correct event_id + slug. We corrected the error automatically!
• If we go to /event/wrong_event_id/slug or /event/wrong_event_id/bad_slug_name we redirect to our /404.

Is this doable outside of using a routes file? https://gist.github.com/Cleanse/d3bad80d9b253ee7b42c10692a06b5c6
