`ftd.redirect`: Dynamic Redirect

In any document you can use ftd.redirect to ignore the document and return a HTTP Redirect response.

-- ftd.redirect: /

Lang:

ftd

Redirect To A Dynamic URL

You can fetch the URL to redirect using any variable as well, this can be used with processors.

-- import: fastn/processors as pr

;; get query parameter next
-- string next:
$processor$: pr.request-data

-- ftd.redirect: $next

Lang:

ftd

⚠️

Static Vs Dynamic

This feature works better with dynamic hosting. If you are using fastn in static site mode, then how the page looked when fastn build was called will be shown to everyone. But if you are using dynamic mode then this page would be regenerated on every page load.
