Redirect

Redirect provides a macro for your router to redirect a request at a given path to another.

In your router.ex file, use the redirect/3 macro to redirect a request:

import Redirect

redirect "/path", "/new-path", :permanent, preserve_query_string: true

⚠️ redirect/3 doesn't work inside scopes (scope/2/scope/3/scope/4)

The third argument passed to redirect/3 must be either :permanent or :temporary. This setting sets the HTTP status code to 301 or 302 respectively.

The fourth optional argument allows to specify whether the query string must be preserved in the target URL or not (defaults to false).

Note that Plug.Conn will be halted right after redirecting.

You may also import :redirect's formatter configuration by importing redirect into your .formatter.exs file (this allows for example to keep redirect "/path", "/new-path", :permanent without parentheses when running mix format).

  import_deps: [:ecto, :phoenix, :redirect],
  #...
]

Installation

Add redirect for Elixir as a dependency in your mix.exs file:

def deps do
  [
    {:redirect, "~> 0.4.0"}
  ]
end
