feat: remove trailing `/` to allow query parameters

[patrickett]

I am running into an issue when trying to use a structure like this:

routes/
├─ projects/
│  ├─ index.ts

This will get mapped to www.example.com/projects/

Which means trying to use query parameters with the url www.example.com/projects?case=abc123 will return:

{
    "error": "Not Found",
    "message": "Route GET:/projects?case=abc123 not found",
    "statusCode": 404
}

From my understanding of searching the issue, people tend to lean toward the idea where non trailing slash urls ex. /project provide a resource. Where urls that do provide the trailing slash ex. /project/ are more synonymous with directories.

I think this might cause issues for existing implementations, but I think making it more consistent or some way of expressing when a trailing slash is included is important. Specifically so that in the case above we can use query parameters.

in this way your route match /projects/

if you want to match /projects you should call your file 'project.ts'

like this:

.
├── projects
│   └── {id}.ts
└── projects.ts

or use the option ignoreTrailingSlash https://www.fastify.io/docs/latest/Reference/Server/#ignoretrailingslash

i do not suggest last options

projects and projects/ are different routes:

some examples:

ignoreTrailingSlash does exactly what I need it to. Thanks!
