queryContent matches on start of path not directory name

[damieng]

Environment

• Operating System: Linux
• Node Version: v21.7.3
• Nuxt Version: 3.12.4
• CLI Version: 3.12.0
• Nitro Version: 2.9.7
• Package Manager: pnpm@9.5.0

Reproduced under WSL and native Windows.

Reproduction

Create a new content app with npx nuxi@latest init content-app -t content, then add a index.vue in the pages root with this content:

<template>
    <ul>
      <li v-for="article of articles" v:key="article._path">{{article._path }}</li>
    </ul>
</template>
<script setup>
const { data: articles } = await useAsyncData(() => queryContent('articles').find())
</script>

Then finally create the following in the content folder (they can be just empty files):

• articlesofincorporation.md
• articles (directory)
  • welcome-to-the-blog.md

Now running the page you'd expect to see just 1 item, "/articles/welcome-to-the-blog` based on the documentation for queryContent given that https://content.nuxt.com/composables/query-content says:

// Create a query looking into content/articles directory
const contentQuery = queryContent('articles')

But in fact you get two results:

• /articles/welcome-to-the-blog
• /articlesofincorporation

Describe the bug

queryContent arguments are matching against start of the path and not actually by directory name - in contradiction to the docs.

The fix will either be:

1. Change the docs so that people know to do queryContent('articles/') (trailing slash)
2. Fix the queryContent code to ensure a trailing slash wherever it is matching these parsed args
