Redirecting¶

You can redirect to a different route by raising a Redirect exception in a route's before_load method.

from routing.router import Route, Redirect

class IndexRoute(Route):
    path = "/"

    def before_load(self, **loader_args):
        raise Redirect(path="/dashboard")

In the above example, the user will be redirected to the /dashboard route when they navigate to your app.

A common use case for redirecting is to ensure that a user is logged in before navigating to a route.

from routing.router import Route, Redirect
import anvil.users

class IndexRoute(Route):
    path = "/"

    def before_load(self, **loader_args):
        if anvil.users.get_user():
            raise Redirect(path="/dashboard")
        else:
            raise Redirect(path="/login")

class EnsureUserMixin:
    def before_load(self, **loader_args):
        if not anvil.users.get_user():
            # Note this will make a server call
            # so you may want to cache the call to anvil.users.get_user()
            raise Redirect(path="/login")

class DashboardRoute(EnsureUserMixin, Route):
    path = "/dashboard"
    form = "Pages.Dashboard"
