URLPattern doesn't match if URL ends with /

[ebebbington]

See the below example:

const url = "http://localhost/coffee/2/"
const path = "/coffee/:id"
const pattern = new URLPattern({ path })
pattern.exec(url) // null

I believe it should match in this case, and could be a huge downfall for the usabillity of this 'new' API

Though in some cases, i think it does match when the url ends with /, so i think it might be quite flaky?

This is intentional spec behaviour: whatwg/urlpattern#14.

If you want to match trailing slashes, add a {/}? to the end of your pattern.

Opened an issue on MDN to clarify this in docs: mdn/content#9327
