What are some examples of redirects in Flask?

Can you give me some examples of how to implement redirects in Flask?

Sure! In Flask, you can use the redirect() function along with url_for() to redirect users. For example:

from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/old-url')
def old_url():
    return redirect(url_for('new_url'))

@app.route('/new-url')
def new_url():
    return 'This is the new URL!'

What if I want to redirect with a status code?

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

return redirect(url_for('new_url'), code=301)
``` This will perform a permanent redirect.

Are there any other ways to handle redirects?

Yes, you can also use Flask's abort() function to handle redirects based on conditions. For instance, you can redirect users if they are not logged in.

Can you show me an example of conditional redirects?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

@app.route('/dashboard')
def dashboard():
    if not user_is_logged_in():
        return redirect(url_for('login'))
    return 'Welcome to your dashboard!'
