How do I handle redirects in Django views?

In Django, you can use the HttpResponseRedirect class to handle redirects. You can also use the redirect() shortcut for convenience.

What status codes can I use for redirects?

Common status codes for redirects include 301 (Moved Permanently) and 302 (Found). You can also use 303, 307, and 308 depending on your needs.

Can you show me an example of a redirect in a Django view?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def my_view(request):
    return redirect('some-view-name')

What if I want to redirect with a status code?

You can specify the status code in the HttpResponseRedirect like this:

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def my_view(request):
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/new-url/', status=301)
