Possibility to enforce trailing slashes

[stephtr]

It would be nice, if one could enforce trailing slashes at least for specific urls. In my case I would like
to forward /admin to /admin/, but doing that via the routes.json file results in a redirection loop.

I agree that this would be a nice feature. Often this comes up with default pages in subfolders that use relative URLs in links and access resources (like images) with relative URLs. Example:

If there's a file at /foo/bar/index.html, it can be accessed at all of the following locations:

• /foo
• /foo/
• /foo/index.html

If there are any relative URLs in the page, those URLs will not work when accessing the page using /foo. To deal with this, most web servers will redirect /foo to /foo/.

Here's an example here:

/foo/index.html has a link <a href="bar.html">relative link to bar.html</a>:

• Link works: https://delightful-island-0d63ac010.azurestaticapps.net/foo/index.html
• Link works: https://delightful-island-0d63ac010.azurestaticapps.net/foo/
• Link doesn't work: https://delightful-island-0d63ac010.azurestaticapps.net/foo
  • without the trailing slash, the base URL is https://delightful-island-0d63ac010.azurestaticapps.net/ which causes the relative link to fail

@stephtr Is this the same scenario you're running into, or do you have other reasons to need this redirect?

[stephtr]

That's more or less exactly my use case.

Could you do two redirects?

redirect /foo => /temporary/
redirect /temporary/ => /foo/

Did anyone ever getting a resolution on this? Encountering the same issue.

Any update on this Issue please?

I'm running into this same problem. I posted a stackoverflow question on this. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70254772/github-not-deploying-the-code-i-push-to-azure-static-web-app

Is there anyway to make Azure static web apps to work as expected. in VSCODE running locally, the local servers adds the trailing slash automatically.

Just discovered this issue - wondering if anyone has figured out a workaround, or better yet, if Microsoft are planning to fix the issue?

+1 We are running into the same issue, breaking relative links on our page.

[rickersilva]

For a cool workaround take a look here. No definitive solution still because we depend on Microsoft for this.

Hi all, thank you for your feedback and patience on this request. We have added the ability to configure trailing slash behavior with the trailingSlash configuration in your staticwebapp.config.json file. The documentation can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/static-web-apps/configuration#trailing-slash. Please let us know if this works for your use cases!

Hi
Where is this json file located on an Azure storage static site?! @joslinmicrosoft
Thanks
