slash at the end of route

[omerts]

Hey,

Currently when there is a slash at the end of a route, the match function returns false.
For example:

routeParser('/test').match('/test/') // false

Is this the expected behavior? Shouldn't the above return a truthful value, since the slash at the end doesn't have a real meaning?

They are technically two different routes, and I believe google would index them as such? I could be wrong though.

@firasdib From what I know, websites will serve the same content if there is or isn't a preceding slash. Just try to add/remove the trailing slash from this issue :).

@firasdib while you are technically right it does seem other routers might treat it (wrongly?) as if it was the same route. I guess a note in the documentation would prevent some surprises.

@goliatone Can confirm a note in the documentation would have prevented me some surprises :)
