redirect and notFound

In order to perform a redirect or render the not-found file you can use built-in Next.js functions imported from next/navigation.

import { redirect, notFound } from 'next/navigation';
 
export default class UserController {
  @get('redirect')
  static async redirect() {
    // ... if something
    redirect('/some-other-endpoint');
  }
 
  @get('not-found')
  static async notFound() {
    // ... if something
    notFound();
  }
}

Both functions work by throwing an error so you don’t need to use return statement. TypeScript casts their return type as never.

See Next.js documentation  for more information.
