How do I make trailing slashes optional?

[taobojlen]

In my API, I'd like to make trailing slashes optional. I don't want to use Django's APPEND_SLASH, since the contents of POST requests will get lost in the redirect.

Instead, I think the most user-friendly approach is to make trailing slashes optional in my API: either /api/foobar and /api/foobar/ should return the same content.

Is it possible to achieve this with django-ninja?

I'm also interested in a solution where you can easily make /api/foobar and /api/foobar/ coexist.

you can try to achieve this with django middleware

1. make sure all your apis ends with slash

2. create middleware that will append slash to every request:

def add_slash(get_response):
    def middleware(request):
        if not request.path.endswith('/'):
            request.path_info = request.path = f"{request.path}/"
        return get_response(request)

    return middleware

3. Add to settings.py

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    'path.to.yyour.middleware.add_slash',
    # ...
]
