EmberJS - Redirecting

This is a URL redirection or forwarding mechanism, that makes a web page available for more than one URL address. Ember.js defines a transitionTo() method moves the application into another route and it behaves like link-to helper.

To redirect from one route to another route, define the beforeModel hook into the route handler.

Syntax

Ember.Route.extend ({
   beforeModel() {
      this.transitionTo('routeToName');
   }
});

Example

The example given below depicts how to redirect from one route to another. Create a new route and name it as beforemodel and open the router.js file with the following code to define URL mappings −

import Ember from 'ember';                   
//Access to Ember.js library as variable Ember
import config from './config/environment';
//It provides access to app's configuration data as variable config 

//The const declares read only variable
const Router = Ember.Router.extend ({
   location: config.locationType,
   rootURL: config.rootURL
});

//Defines URL mappings that takes parameter as an object to create the routes
Router.map(function() {
   this.route('posts', function() {
      this.route('beforemodel');
   });
});

//It specifies Router variable available to other parts of the app
export default Router;   

Open the file beforemodel.js created under app/routes/ with the following code −

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend ({
   beforeModel() {
      //open the beforemodel.hbs page to display the data
      this.transitionTo('beforemodel'); 
   }
});

Open the file beforemodel.hbs created under app/templates/ with the following code −

<h2>Hello...Welcome to Tutorialspoint!!!</h2>
{{outlet}}

Output

Run the ember server and you will receive the following output −
