Redirection In Drupal 8 Programatcially

Redirection In Drupal 8 


In this post we can learn about the ways we can make redirect in Drupal 8.

You can make a custom redirect according to the context in many ways.

Form Redirect 

    We can use the formstate object to redirect from form. 
   Currently below two methods are available from Drupal\Core\Form  formstate to build  a   \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse  for redirection.

1)setRedirect

 function setRedirect($route_name, array $route_parameters = [], array $options = [])
This method will call the setRedirectUrl function inside it.

1) route_parameters - optional argument

2) route_nameThe name of the route name.

3) options -    (optional) An associative array of additional URL options, with the
   *   following elements:

   *   - 'query': An array of query key/value-pairs (without any URL-encoding)
   *     to append to the URL.
   *   - 'fragment': A fragment identifier (named anchor) to append to the URL.
   *     Do not include the leading '#' character.
   *   - 'absolute': Defaults to FALSE. Whether to force the output to be an
   *     absolute link (beginning with http:). Useful for links that will be
   *     displayed outside the site, such as in an RSS feed.
   *   - 'attributes': An associative array of HTML attributes that will be
   *     added to the anchor tag if you use the \Drupal\Core\Link class to make
   *     the link.
   *   - 'language': An optional language object used to look up the alias
   *     for the URL. If $options['language'] is omitted, it defaults to the
   *     current language for the language type LanguageInterface::TYPE_URL.
   *   - 'https': Whether this URL should point to a secure location. If not
   *     defined, the current scheme is used, so the user stays on HTTP or HTTPS
   *     respectively. TRUE enforces HTTPS and FALSE enforces HTTP.

Usage:
    1) $form_state->setRedirect('<current>');
    2) $form_state->setRedirect('entity.view.edit_display_form', [
      'view' => $view->id(),
      'display_id' => $id,
    ]);

  
       2)setRedirectUrl

                    Url object needs to given for the function.

         function setRedirectUrl(Url $url)

   Usage:
        url = new Url('foo');
        url->setRedirectUrl($url)
