There is a problem with redirects in Netlify React. When you create a redirect, Netlify tries to automatically update the href and path components of the HTML document. However, this process can sometimes result in incorrect or broken links.
If you’re experiencing problems with redirects in your Netlify React projects, we recommend disabling automatic updates for href and path components. You can do this by setting the following property in your project’s configuration:
netlify-react-redirect-auto-update: false
app
In your React app, you can redirect to a different page using the Redirect component from React Router.
import { Redirect } from 'react-router-dom'; class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <div> <Redirect to="/new-page" /> </div> ); } }
What is netlify
Netlify is a platform as a service (PaaS) that helps developers build and deploy web applications. It provides a platform for developers to create, manage, and deploy web applications with a single command. Netlify also provides tools for monitoring and managing applications.
Redirections in React
Router
When you create a route in React Router, you can specify a redirect to follow. This redirect will happen automatically when the user visits the route.
To create a redirect in React Router, use the redirect function. This function takes two arguments: the path to follow and a handler function that will be called when the user arrives at the redirect destination. The handler function should return an object with two properties: status and url . The status property should contain the HTTP status code of the redirect, and the url property should contain the new URL that will be displayed to the user.
Here is an example of a simple route that uses a redirect:
import React from ‘react’ ; import { Route } from ‘react-router’ ; import { Redirect } from ‘react-router-dom’ ; const routes = [ { path : ‘/users/:id’ , component : UserList , children : [ { path : ‘/add’ , component : AddUser }, { path : ‘/delete/:id’ , component : DeleteUser } ] }, { path : ‘/users/:id/edit’ , component : EditUserList } ]; export default Route . create ( routes );
