# 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;
    }
