Redirect to different URL

[kamalaRamaswamy]

Hi,

I have a requirement to redirect to a different URL in one of the response handlers.
Similar to express res.redirect(), is it possible to handle the same using msw?

Hey, @Post-box.

You can redirect from a mocked response by constructing a valid redirect response:

rest.get('/user', (req, res, ctx) => {
  return res(
    // Respond with a redirect (3xx) status code.
    ctx.status(301),
    // Provide the redirect target in the "Location" header.
    ctx.set('Location', '/redirect-target')
  )
})

Take a look at the redirect tests from our repo:

msw/test/rest-api/redirect.mocks.ts

Lines 1 to 17 in 86c23ec

	import { setupWorker, rest } from 'msw'
	const worker = setupWorker(
	rest.get('/login', (req, res, ctx) => {
	return res(ctx.status(307), ctx.set('Location', '/user'))
	}),
	rest.get('/user', (req, res, ctx) => {
	return res(
	ctx.json({
	firstName: 'John',
	lastName: 'Maverick',
	}),
	)
	}),
	)
	worker.start()
