Response: redirect() static method

View on MDN ↗

Available in workers

The redirect() static method of the Response interface returns a Response resulting in a redirect to the specified URL.

[!NOTE] This can be used alongside the ServiceWorker API. A controlling service worker could intercept a page’s request and redirect it as desired. This will actually lead to a real redirect if a service worker sends it upstream.

Syntax

Response.redirect(url)
Response.redirect(url, status)

Parameters

  • url
    • : The URL that the new response is to originate from.
  • status Optional
    • : An optional number indicating the status code for the response: one of 301, 302, 303, 307, or 308. If omitted, 302 Found is used by default.

Return value

A Response object.

Exceptions

  • RangeError
    • : The specified status is not a redirect status.
  • TypeError
    • : The specified URL is invalid.

Response.redirect("https://www.example.com", 302);
