Redirect after login doesn't work
Answered
Dreamgineer posted this in #help-forum
I have a parallel route setup for my
/login which after logging in, does router.push("/dash"). Now the problem is when you visit the website, there is a link that preloads /dash so it gets redirected to /login and thus preloads that. So when router.push pushes to /dash it cached the redirect and wouldn't go anywhere. Is there a way to fix it?8 Replies
does visiting the route manually works?
yes, because that's not prefetched by client side nav
I just want
router.push to not use the stale redirect from before loginOriginal message was deleted
Answer
just use server actions for login with revalidatePath and redirect, as that will clear client cache and also return the dash in one go (or the error object if user/password not correct)
that was also suggested but I didn't want to spam this channel with 5 forwarded messages
ah cool
(its a better method for your usecase tho imo)
