How do I make Laravel 5.3 create route URLs with trailing slashes?

The route is defined as 

 Route::get('/home/', ['as' => 'home', 'uses' => 'HomeController@index']);

I then create the url with the route helper function in a view:

{{ route('home') }}

This creates http://localhost:8000/home instead of http://localhost:8000/home/.

This question is very similar to Laravel - append a trailing slash in routes, but that question doesn't have an answer either and it seems to me that my description is a tat shorter.

Edit: The two possible naming methods from the docs don't make a difference:

Route::get('/home/', ['as' => 'home', 'uses' => 'HomeController@index']);
Route::get('/home/', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');

  • what happen when you access the one with trailing slash? afaik it will redirect to somewhere else. one of its solution is [this so answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/21735548/4648586) – Bagus Tesa Dec 06 '16 at 08:56
  • As long as the webserver doesn't redirect laravel will respond to the request. – tback Dec 06 '16 at 09:22
  • it something had to do with the [`.htaccess`](https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/public/.htaccess#L10). as it discussed in [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34441338/laravel-5-bad-behaviour-while-removing-trailing-slash) you had to edit your `.htaccess` in public directory. although...

    I had a deep look at the `UrlGenerator` and I thought of extending it for this purpose, namely changing its `format()` method, which strips the trailing slash. Unfortunately, I realized that Laravel is not flexible enough with it, so doing it in a fancy way is not possible. Laravel even registers some magic on `UrlGenerator` during runtime right after registering the `UrlGenerator` itself. This feature is pretty badly designed, to be honest. So your only chance is to create your own helper (or overwrite existing `route()` helper). – Robo Robok May 30 '21 at 07:49

The marked variant is more similar to a crutch than to the decision as URL is in sitemap.xml and still anywhere therefore in this case, it is better to edit everything only in the directory routes/*.php, That is all same the variant with UrlGenerator census will be the most correct. In this case, there is a very useful package (illuminatech/url-trailing-slash) that essentially should solve this problem. All changes will be only at the routing level.

Because Laravel will remove slash at the end of URL so you just can do it by using {{ route('home') }}/.

Reference: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.3/src/Illuminate/Routing/UrlGenerator.php#L308-L345

    or create your own [helper method](http://laravel.io/forum/02-03-2015-best-practices-for-custom-helpers-on-laravel-5?page=1) – Bagus Tesa Dec 06 '16 at 09:29
