How can I make a trailing slash optional on a Django Rest Framework SimpleRouter

The docs say you can set trailing_slash=False but how can you allow both endpoints to work, with or without a trailing slash?

Solution

  • You can override the __init__ method of the SimpleRouter class:

    from rest_framework.routers import SimpleRouter


class OptionalSlashRouter(SimpleRouter):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.trailing_slash = '/?'

    The ? character will make the slash optional for all available routes.
