Prevent redirect at root-path (use default lang)

[metafoo]

Hi *,

any chance to prevent the redirect when requesting the root-path and just use the default language here? Handling everything else (also default lang) under its /lang - scope is totally fine...

[metafoo]

I don't know if this will come back to haunt me later, but: Adjusting request.nextUrl.pathname to the defaultLocale when the root-path is being requested does the trick!

import createMiddleware from 'next-intl/middleware'
import { routing } from '@/i18n/routing'

const intlMiddleware = createMiddleware(routing)

export default async function middleware(request) {
  if(request.nextUrl.pathname === "/") {
    request.nextUrl.pathname = "/" + routing.defaultLocale
  }

  const response = await intlMiddleware(request)

  return response
}
