Modify the puppies route so that the path is /cute-puppies. Which answer is best?

What is the best way to answer this? Both of these work. One has a slash after cute-puppies.

AnimalShelter = Ember.Application.create();

AnimalShelter.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('puppies', {path: '/cute-puppies'});
});

AnimalShelter = Ember.Application.create();

AnimalShelter.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('puppies', {path: '/cute-puppies/'});
});

I believe that by using the / at the end you are defining it to use a directory. So it will for sure use the cute-puppies directory.

Otherwise /cute-puppies without the ending slash could be calling a directory or a file named cute-puppies.

I'd say if they both work, then the shorter one is better. You'll save one byte from the file size!
