Redirect URL
Redirect URL is an express middleware for redirection with slashes at the end of the URL path and for redirecting old urls by new ones.
Old to new URL redirections should be used in older projects where contentful redirections are not present.
yarn add 4finance-redirect-url
Motivation
We would like to be able to use an unified workflow for redirections.
How to use
To use Redirect URL you need just to import fillSlash and redirect to use it as an express middleware. For client side, import withSlashes and wrap router history with that.
Example
client.js
...
import { withSlashes } from '4finance-redirect-url';
const appHistory = withSlashes(useRouterHistory(createBrowserHistory)());
...server.js
...
import { fillSlash, redirect } from '4finance-redirect-url'
const redirections = {
'/old-url/': '/new-url/',
};
const app = express();
app.use(redirect(redirections));
app.use(fillSlash);
