Links/paths are not expected to end in slash, but Links.index ends them in a slash.
If you setup a site with the Saturn template, and follow the user guide, you get a Books resource with the index at /books. If you only follow the guide, requests to /books/ works, but if you customize the router you get a 404 (see my code example below).
I can make Link.index remove the trailing slash but:
Why do requests to /books/ work in one case but not the other?
I'd like to do something so that requests with lots of trailing slashes go to the most obvious path instead of 404. Something like, if /books///// go to /books?
Changing Links.index helps with links in views, but should trailing slashes be handled by something else? Router level maybe?
When /books/ works:
If you only follow the guide, you will have a browserRouter that looks like this.
let browserRouter = router {
not_found_handler (htmlView NotFound.layout) //Use the default 404 webpage
pipe_through browser //Use the default browser pipeline
forward "/books" Books.Controller.resource
forward "" defaultView //Use the default view
}
When /books/ doesn't work
My routing looks like this. In my example code, I wanted to prevent unauthenticated users from accessing the Books resource, so I setup a loggedInView router (you can see the source code here). Using get like this causes a 404 on requests to /books/ .
let login = pipeline {
requires_authentication (fun next ctx -> htmlView (Login.layout ctx) next ctx)
//plug print_user_details
}
let loggedInView = router {
pipe_through login
pipe_through protectFromForgery
forward "/books" Books.Controller.resource
forwardf "/books/%s" (fun s -> Books.Controller.resource)
let browserRouter = router {
not_found_handler (htmlView NotFound.layout) //Use the default 404 webpage
pipe_through browser //Use the default browser pipeline
forward "" defaultView //Use the default view
get "/books" loggedInView
getf "/books/%s" (fun s -> loggedInView)
