Play 2 extensions

=================

Everything that should be included in Play - but wasn't.

Using it

--------

In your `Build.scala`:

    val playExtensions = RootProject(uri("git://github.com/mariussoutier/Play-Extensions.git"))

    val main = play.Project(...).dependsOn(playExtensions)

Global Behavior

---------------

### Auto Conf

An extension to the global settings that simplifies loading custom configuration files with a

convention-over-configuration approach. Mix in the trait `com.mariussoutier.play.extensions.global.AutoConf`

and the following rules apply:

* In development mode, a file called `dev.conf` will be loaded; after that, a file with your current

  username + .conf (as in the Java environment variable `user.name`) will be loaded

* In test mode, a file called `test.conf` will be loaded

* In production mode, a file called `prod.conf` will be loaded

Play will always load an `application.conf` file, and this trait won't prevent this, but you can

override keys from the `application.conf` in your custom config files. Well, that's the whole point.

### Play Trailing Slash

An extension to the global settings that generates a 401 Moved Permanently redirect for request

paths that end with a slash, redirecting to a path without a trailing slash.

Consider a simple URL such as http://www.example.com/login that displays a login page. If the user

enters http://www.example.com/login/ by accident, Play will generate a 404 result. If you define both

routes, Google will treat this as duplicate content. Play's default router only offers a 302 redirect

which doesn't solve the duplicate content problem.

Scala:

    import com.mariussoutier.play._

    object Global extends GlobalSettings with TrailingSlash

Java:

    import com.mariussoutier.play.*;

    public class Global extends TrailingSlashSettings {

    }
