[![Hex version](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/plug_redirect.svg "Hex version")](https://hex.pm/packages/plug_redirect)
[![Hex downloads](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/dt/plug_redirect.svg "Hex downloads")](https://hex.pm/packages/plug_redirect)
A plug builder for redirecting requests.
## Usage
Add PlugRedirect to your Mix dependencies
```elixir
# mix.exs
def deps do
[
{:plug_redirect, "~> 1.0"},
]
end
```
Fetch it:
```
mix deps.get
```
Create a new module and specify your redirects like so:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Redirector do
use Plug.Redirect
# Argument #1 is the path to redirect from
# Argument #2 is the path to redirect to
redirect "/ada", "/lovelace"
# An HTTP status code can also be specified
redirect "/grace", "/hopper", status: 302
# Segements prefixed with a colon will match anything
redirect "/blog/:anything", "/blog-closed"
# Variable segments can be interpolated into the destination
redirect "/users/:name", "/profile/:name"
end
```
This compiles into a plug that you can insert into your application's
plug middleware stack.
In Phoenix, insert the plug in your web application Endpoint.
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Endpoint do
use Phoenix.Endpoint, otp_app: :my_app
plug Plug.RequestId
plug Plug.Logger
plug Plug.MethodOverride
plug Plug.Head
plug MyApp.Redirector # Insert your redirector anywhere before the router
plug MyApp.Router
end
```
