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

Question

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

Answer 1

If you're using DRF's routers and viewsets, you can include /? in your prefix.

from rest_framework import routers

from .views import ClientViewSet

router = routers.SimpleRouter(trailing_slash=False)
router.register(r"clients/?", ClientViewSet)
