Redirects#
Sometimes, you want to redirect from a link to a page. For example, redirecting from /docs to an actual page like /docs/getting-started.
Next.JS does not provide an easy way if you render as a static site. So Guider has a simple tool to orchestrate redirects.
Creating a redirect#
The createRedirect function can make a page that simply redirects to another page.
So for example above, you would make a docs/index.mdx file with the following:
import { createRedirect } from '@neato/guider/client'
export default createRedirect({ to: '/docs/getting-started' });Some hosting platforms like Netlify or Cloudflare Pages can give you more control over redirects with a _redirects file.
This is preferable over createRedirect since it uses HTTP redirection instead of Javascript.
