Discussion on: How to redirect in SvelteKit endpoints

[Scott Spence]

So I'm currently looking to move from my old blog, which has a filing structure like:

content/posts/2021/06/some-post-title/index.mdx

In my blog currently that will be mydomain.com/2021/06/some-post-title

I'm looking to move to SvelteKit and use MDSveX and with Vite and the routing doesn't allow that (which I have found, and I've looked, like, a lot) so I'm looking to simplify the routes to something like:

src/routes/posts/some-post-title.svx

How would I structure the redirects so that I'm not creating a path for each of the existing routes (130 odd)?

Do you have an example or some source code I could check out?

Thanks

You've added MDSvex with this adder? github.com/svelte-add/mdsvex

And you can't create a file like this src/routes/posts/2021/06/some-post-title/index.svx and then navigate to /posts/2021/06/some-post-title?

Thanks to @askrodney who helped me work this out...

For anyone else that has the same specific issue as me, make a file structure that mirrors the old filing structure, this is in the src/routes folder:

Then in the index file:

<script context="module">
  export async function load({ page }) {
    const { slug } = page.params
    return {
      status: 301,
      redirect: `/posts/${slug}`,
    }
  }
</script>
