Change all routes to end in slashes
Closed this issue · 2 comments
After a quick research, I think the best practice is for links to have a trailing slash, and to redirect links without one to that url (which is built-in behaviour of django, like documented here).
Currently, routes whose paths do not end in slashes but are entered with one, result in a 404.
There is more information on the to-slash-or-not-to-slash from Google from 2010.
Do you have any take on this @maltezacharias?
This answer on stackoverflow also talks about it and recommends slashes, but at the end it says:
You can't make POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE methods to work with rest_framework unless you explicitly define APPEND_SLASH=False in settings and trailing_slash=False for each and every router you gotta use(if you use Routers). It is like you basically gonna skip this most times and you gotta waste a hell lot of time debugging this. Django recommends append slashes and doesn't force it.
So if we use the REST api for the filtering, this would be a heads-up for #81
For the rest framework it sounds annoying, still I'd prefer trailing slashes. Your research also points towards that.
