Convert Apache .htaccess rewrite to nginx

Hello,
I am new to nginx and I am having trouble converting htaccess rewrite to
nginx rewrite. Please help me convert the following mod_rewrites with a
brief explanation. And should I put the nginx rewrite back into the
.htaccess file or is there a designated config file to put the nginx
location blocks?

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Not quite familiar with apache rewrite rules, but I think you just need:

rewrite ^(.*)/$ $1 permanent;
try_files $uri /index.php;

Not tested, apologies if I’m wrong.
