How do I handle redirects in Django?

In Django, you can handle redirects using the redirect() function from django.shortcuts. You can redirect to a URL or a view.

Can you show me an example of using the redirect function?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.shortcuts import redirect

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

This will redirect the user to the view named 'some-view-name'.

What if I want to redirect with a status code?

You can specify a status code as a second argument in the redirect() function. For example:

return redirect('some-view-name', permanent=True)

This will perform a permanent redirect (HTTP 301).
