connect-slashes

connect-slashes

Trailing slash redirect middleware for Connect. Useful for creating canonical urls in your Node.js applications.

Installation

$ npm install connect-slashes

Usage

var connect = require("connect")
  , slashes = require("connect-slashes");

connect()
  .use(connect.logger())
  .use(connect.static())
  .use(slashes())
  .listen(3000); 

Alternatively, you can pass false as the only argument to .slashes() in order to remove trailing slashes instead of appending them:

.use(slashes(false));

Notes

1. Only GET requests will be redirected (to avoid losing POST/PUT data)
2. This middleware will append or removes a trailing slash to all request urls. This includes filenames (/app.css => /app.css/), so it may break your static files. Make sure to .use() this middleware only after the connect.static() middleware.
