removing trailing slashes in django rest framework in all urls: added with router, manually or using include

I'm building an API using Django REST frameworks and would like to get rid of all the trailing slashes in all the urls. I did add APPEND_SLASH = False in settings.py

Here are the different cases I encountered:

1. Explicit urls: No problem since we can control the regex fully:

urlpatterns = [...,url(r'^api/objects/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/property$', SomeView.as_view(), name='object-property'),...]

Which allows to send requests to /api/objects/1/property

2. Using a router:

router = routers.DefaultRouter(trailing_slash=False)

router.register(r'some-endpoint',SomeViewSet,base_name='some_endpoint')

url(r'^api/', include(router.urls)),

Which allows to send requests to /api/some-endpoint

3. Problem: Using third-party packages

For instance I'm trying to use django-rest-auth. I have installed it with pip and, following the docs I added the urls I need (including registration) to urlpatterns like so:

url(r'^api/', include('rest_auth.urls')), url(r'^api/registration/account-confirm-email/(?P<key>[-:\w]+)/$', ConfirmEmailView.as_view(), name='account_confirm_email'), url(r'^api/registration/', include('rest_auth.registration.urls')),

this will make, for instance, the endpoint /api/login/ active but WITH a trailing slash which I don't want for consistency.

I then tried to remove url(r'^api/', include('rest_auth.urls')) and, focusing on the login endpoint, imported its view:

from rest_auth.views import LoginView

and added the url to urlpatterns hoping to be able to use it without the trailing slash:

url(r'^api/login$', LoginView.as_view(), name='rest_login'),

or

url(r'^api/login', LoginView.as_view(), name='rest_login'),

None of these worked.

However if I add the trailing slash: url(r'^api/login/$', LoginView.as_view(), name='rest_login')

the endpoint will work.

4. Minor Problem: For the admin site

I have a similar issue with the admin site which is added with:

url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

all the endpoints have trailing_slashes including /admin/

while: url(r'^api/docs', include_docs_urls(title='API Doc',public=False))

will add the docs without any trailing slashes anywhere.

So how can I remove the trailing slashes for: - django-rest-auth or any other third party package? - for the admin website?

Thanks a lot for your help.
