Requirements

This library requires the following to run:

• Node.js 18+

Usage

Install with npm:

npm install @rowanmanning/response-redirect-middleware

Load the library into your code with a require call:

const redirect = require('@rowanmanning/response-redirect-middleware');

Use it to generate middleware to redirect a view:

const app = express();

app.get('/', redirect('/login'));

The following are equivalent:

app.get('/', redirect('/login'));
app.get('/', (request, response) => response.redirect('/login'));

app.get('/posts', redirect(301, '/blog'));
app.get('/posts', (request, response) => response.redirect(301, '/blog'));

If you need to pass dynamic information into the redirect, don't use this middleware.
