How to do a proper nginx rewrite?

Question

Nginx

Hello!
There is an nginx rule

rewrite ^(.*)\.(jpe?g|png)$  /index.php?path=$1 last;

How can I pass the file type as the second parameter?

Answer 1

rewrite ^(.*)\.(jpe?g|png)$  /index.php?path=$1&type=$2 last;

Or

rewrite ^(.*\.(jpe?g|png))$  /index.php?path=$1 last;
