Possible to create this redirecting route in Rails?

In Rails 4 and 5: (thanks @dennis)

get '/stories', to: redirect('/posts')

In Rails 3, you can redirect inside the routes.rb file.

match "/posts/github" => redirect("http://github.com/rails.atom")

ruby-on-rails redirect routes

Assuming rails version prior to 3.

You can create a new RedirectController or tuck a single function away in an existing controller, to do something like the following:

map.js_embed '/j/e',    :controller => :redirect_controller,    :action => :some_function,    :path => "embed"

Then your function would do this:

def some_function  if params[:path]    redirect_to "/javascripts/#{params[:path]}.js"  endend

or something for that effect.

ruby-on-rails redirect routes

You can make the root path redirect to an external website:

root to: redirect('https://www.lucascaton.com.br/en')
