Temporary and permanent view redirect decorators. Simplifies views that always redirect to a specific or configured url. You can use the reverse() function (or any other runtime-required lookup) via lambda to define the redirect url.

Why dont you use django.views.generic.simple.redirect_to view?

#

bryanpieper (on July 13, 2010):

These decorators are supplemental to the generic django views. They allow you to process any number of items before the redirection.

#

zymen (on July 14, 2010):

Yes, but what is a difference between:

def view1(request): do_actions redirect_to(...)

and

@redirect(...) def view2(request): do_actions

I don't know what others think about it, but for me this snippet doesn't contain 'value added'.

@zymen This can be veru helpful when you return a pdf output and you need to redirect after the return pdf
