Rails::AjaxRedirect

Simple redirect_to support for AJAX requests in non-Turbolinks applications.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails-ajax_redirect'

Or install it yourself as:

gem install rails-ajax_redirect

Usage

Require rails-ajax_redirect in your application.js:

//= require rails-ajax_redirect

AjaxRedirect extends redirect_to to use a custom status code for ajax requests, while still setting the Location header.

The script adds a handler for the ajax:success event, that navigates to the location in the header for responses that have the custom status code.

Now you will be able to write controller actions in the usual way :smiley:

Turbolinks

If your application uses Turbolinks, you should use the turbolinks-redirect, on which this library is based on. The advantage is that it will perform faster navigation by leveraging Turbolinks to visit the new location.
