Strict should not allow a trailing slash

[posva]

Hello,

First, thanks a lot for creating path-to-repexp, we use it to handle paths in vue-router and it makes things pretty easy 🙂

When using strict: true, a path will only match with a trailing slash:

/foo -> /foo/ but no /foo

but this looks strange because I see no way to force a path not to have a trailing slash

? -> /foo but not /foo/

IMO, it would make more sense to allow the user to force the slash by simply appending it to the route: /foo/ -> /foo/ but not /foo

Now, I know this is a breaking channge but still wanted to know your thoughts about this because I couldn't find any previous issue about the topic

Hi everyone!

I currently have this issue : vuejs/vue-router#1443 when I use vue-router that use path-to-regex as dependency.

A solution is to simply set pathToRegexOptions: { strict: true } to resolve this issue but what I see it's the reverse of what I want!

On my server, I set: /our-projects/ so

• if I ask http://localhost:7777/our-projects/ there will respond 200 with « Project Template »
• if I ask http://localhost:7777/our-projects there will respond 404 with « Error Template »

This is my initial cases:

• standard case : I ask /our-projects/ -> Project Template (response server ok), hydratation Project Template (hydratation ok)
  

• issue case : I ask /our-projects -> Error Template (response server ok), hydratation Project Template (normal behavior of path-to-regex but issue for me)
  

So I decide to use pathToRegexOptions: { strict: true } to solve the issue!

BUT I have two issues now !

• real issue 1 : I ask /our-projects/ -> Project Template (response server ok), hydratation Error Template (nok issue should be Project )
  
• real issue 2 : I ask /our-projects -> Error Template (response server ok), hydratation Project Template (nok issue should be Error )
  

What I expected:

• serveur Error -> hydratation Error for /our-projects and
• serveur Project -> hydratation Project for /our-projects/

I don't follow this issue or understand the next comment, sorry. This is already how it works. See the test case:

path-to-regexp/test.ts

Lines 116 to 132 in e97122d

	[
	'/test',
	{
	strict: true
	},
	[
	'/test'
	],
	[
	['/test', ['/test']],
	['/test/', null],
	['/TEST', ['/TEST']]
	],
	[
	[null, '/test']
	]
	],

. If I'm misunderstanding the request, please let me know.

oh, what the hell 😆
My bad, sorry for the noise, you're right, that's how it works right now
