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

For anyone using rest_framework_extensions with ExtendedSimpleRouter, the accepted solution needs a small modification. The self.trailling_slash has to be after the super() like this.

from rest_framework_extensions.routers import ExtendedSimpleRouter

class OptionalSlashRouter(ExtendedSimpleRouter):
    def __init__(self):
        super(ExtendedSimpleRouter, self).__init__()
        self.trailing_slash = "/?"
