Trailing Slash
A middleware for automatically adding or removing trailing /.
Use Cases
The Trailing Slash middleware is particularly useful in the following scenarios:
-
URL Normalization: Ensures all URLs follow a consistent format (by uniformly adding or removing trailing slashes), which helps improve SEO and avoid duplicate content issues.
-
Simplified Route Handling: Eliminates the need to write separate routing logic for URLs with and without trailing slashes, as the middleware automatically handles this conversion.
-
Compatibility: Some clients may automatically add or remove trailing slashes from URLs. This middleware ensures that requests are correctly routed.
-
Redirect Management: Can be configured to automatically redirect URLs with trailing slashes to those without (or vice versa), enhancing the user experience.
-
Avoiding Route Conflicts: In many web frameworks,
/pathand/path/may be treated as different routes. This middleware can handle them uniformly.
