UPDATED April 7, 2023

SvelteKit now supports using redirect to throw redirect(301, '/some-age') as a convenience.

import { redirect } from '@sveltejs/kit';

export async function GET() {
  // Do some magic here... ✨

  throw redirect(302, '/success')
}

Thanks Brian in the comments for the reminder about this change 🙏

Wanted to do redirects in your SvelteKit endpoints and tried to return { redirect: '/success' } just to find out it doesn't work?

Well, you're in luck because you can just use the standard Location header to do redirects:

export async function GET() {

  // Do some magic here... ✨

  return {
    headers: { Location: '/success' },
    status: 302
  }
}

Remember to make sure use the proper status code for your redirect.

Whelp, that's it for today, hope this saved you some headaches!
