Ember-redirect-to

DEPRECATED: Starting with Ember v2.10 this addon is no longer needed and you can just use this.replaceWith to get the correct behavior!

Ever confused by when to use this.transitionTo and this.replaceWith in the redirectwhile trying to preserve history? ...Me too...

This addon makes this.redirectTo available in Routes, which appears to always do the right things.

Usage

ember install ember-redirect-to

In the route you wish to "alias" to another.

// routes/index.js
export default Route.extend({
  redirect() {
    // redirects / -> dashboard
    // correctly chooses transitionTo or replaceWith to ensure the expected history
    this.redirectTo('dashboard');
  }
})
