How to redirect in Koa
The redirect()
method is available in the ctx
object. So to redirect, just call it.
ctx.redirect(url)
Full example of ctx.redirect
import Koa from "koa";
import _ from "koa-route";
const app = new Koa()
app.use(_.get('/old', async ctx => {
ctx.redirect('/new')
}))
app.use(_.get('/new', async ctx => {
ctx.body = 'redirected!'
}))
app.listen(4000)
When you send a request to the path /old
, the server will respond to 302 status. Also, the Location
header value will be the URL that was passed to the redirect
method.
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 39
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2019 06:01:51 GMT
Location: /new
Redirecting to <a href="/new">/new</a>.
