Redirect to another route

1

How can i redirect to another route handler inside the closure?

2

If there is the $app instance available then like this: http://www.slimframework.com/docs/v4/objects/routing.html#redirect-helper

In all other (default) cases, the $response object should be used:

Within a route closure:

$response = $response->withStatus(302);

return $response->withHeader('Location', 'my url');

Within a middleware:

$response = $responseFactory->createResponse(302); 

return $response->withHeader('Location', 'my url');

Tip 1: Instead of using a fix number, a constant should be used for the http status codes:

// composer require fig/http-message-util

\Fig\Http\Message\StatusCodeInterface::STATUS_FOUND;

Tip 2: Instead using a fix url use the RouteContext object and named routes for the url:

use Slim\Routing\RouteContext;

// ...

$routeParser = RouteContext::fromRequest($request)->getRouteParser();
$url = $routeParser->urlFor('login');

return $this->responseFactory->createResponse()
    ->withHeader('Location', $url)
    ->withStatus(302);

Many thanks for answer!
So if i use this

It will redirect to another handler, insted of returning response to a user?

Yes, the response goes back to the user, and the browser redirects to user to the new url resp. another (route) handler.

5

It is not possible to do it server side only?

6

Yes, by using the same action handler for two different urls. But then the client (browser) will not be redirected to the real url.

Update: For redirects you can also use the $app->redirect(...) helper method.
