normalizePath static method

String normalizePath(
  1. String path
)

Normalizes a raw path by:

  • Reducing multiple slashes (//) to one (/)
  • Ensuring a leading slash
  • Removing trailing slash if path is not the root

Useful for consistent internal comparisons or storage.

Example:

final normalized = UriTemplate.normalizePath('///api//v1/users/');
print(normalized); // /api/v1/users

Implementation

static String normalizePath(String path) {
  String normalized = path.replaceAll(RegExp(r'/{2,}'), '/'); // Replace multiple slashes with single
  if (!normalized.startsWith('/')) {
    normalized = '/$normalized';
  }
  if (normalized.length > 1 && normalized.endsWith('/')) {
    normalized = normalized.substring(0, normalized.length - 1);
  }

  return normalized;
}
