`throw redirect()`

// Redirect the user to another URL
redirect(url: `/${string}` | `https://${string}` | `http://${string}`)

// /pages/some-page/+someHook.js
 
import { redirect } from 'vike/abort'
 
export function someHook() {
  if (someCondition) {
    throw redirect('/some-url')
  }
}

throw redirect() is about aborting a page from being rendered and redirecting to the user to another page instead. Use navigate() if you want to redirect after the page is already rendered. See Abort > throw redirect() VS throw render() VS navigate().

throw redirect() makes temporary redirections (HTTP status code 302). For permanent redirections (HTTP status code 301), use the redirects setting or pass a second argument throw redirect('/some-url', 301).

Common use cases:

Authentication and authorization, see Integration > Authentication > Login flow.
Data fetching error handling, see API > data() hook > Error handling.

While it's most commonly used with guard() or data() you can use it with any hook.

For improved DX, consider using throw render() instead of throw redirect(). See Abort > throw redirect() VS throw render() VS navigate().

If throw redirect() doesn't work, see Abort > Debug and Abort > throw redirect() VS throw render() VS navigate().
