npm package Build Status Maintainability Test Coverage

🎯 Set redirect urls in your YAML frontmatter within your Gatsby site's Markdown files. Mimics the behavior of jekyll-redirect-from. https://kremalicious.com/gatsby-redirect-from/

Deprecation notice: Gatsby has been abandoned so maintaining this plugin does not make much sense. It will only receive occasional dependency updates and will be archived at the end of 2024. If you choose to switch to Astro, you can use astro-redirect-from.

By adding a redirect_from list of URLs to your Markdown file's YAML frontmatter, this plugin creates client-side redirects for all of them at build time, with Gatsby's createRedirect used under the hood.

By combining this plugin with gatsby-plugin-meta-redirect, you get simple server-side redirects from your redirect_from lists out of the box. You can also combine it with any other plugin picking up Gatsby createRedirect calls to get proper SEO-friendly server-side redirects for your hosting provider.

Prerequisites

Installation

cd yourproject/
npm i gatsby-redirect-from gatsby-plugin-meta-redirect

Then load the plugin along with e.g. gatsby-plugin-meta-redirect from your gatsby-config.js:

plugins: [
  'gatsby-redirect-from',
  'gatsby-plugin-meta-redirect' // make sure this is always the last one
]

That's it.

Usage

In your Markdown file's YAML frontmatter, use the key redirect_from followed by a list:

---
title: Aperture File Types
redirect_from:
  - /new-goodies-aperture-file-types-icons/
  - /goodie-updated-aperture-file-types-v11/
  - /aperture-file-types-v12-released/
  - /2008/04/aperture-file-types/
  # note: trailing slashes are required
---

More explanations and options, all about server-side redirects, and additional plugins which can be used in combination with gatsby-redirect-from.
