Redirect Page to Separate URL in JavaScript
- 1 minute read
There’s a view ways to go about redirecting the user to a different page in JavaScript, but the below method is my favorite:
window.location.assign(`https://example.com`);
The above example uses the
window.location.assign method to simulate an HTTP redirect to https://example.com
.
I prefer window.location.assign
over window.location.replace
, because the latter method resets the current tab’s history, thereby disabling the back button.
You can also set the value of window.location.href
to your preferred target URL, which will simulate a link click:
window.location.href = `https://example.com`;
Conclusion
Anyway, that’s how you redirect a page to a separate URL in JavaScript. Enjoy!
