Customize params for LiveViews

Routes are compiled so I don’t think something like Rails’ regex-based constraints could ever be possible. I also don’t see a big difference between params: %{country: country} and your live action approach.

I agree with @thiagomajesk that having sub routes is the way to go, but if you really don’t want to, I would make live components for each stat type and delegate in the router:

def render(%{param: param} = assigns) when param in @countries do
  ~H"""
  <.live_component id="countries" module={MyAppWeb.CountryStatsComponent} countries={@countries} />
  """
end

def render(assigns) do
  ~H"""
  <.live_component id="range" module={MyAppWeb.RangeStatsComponent} ranges={@ranges} />
  """
end

That’s just a high-level example and I’m leaving out some context—there are several ways you could accomplish this.
