title: Redirect Plugin keywords: [“redirect”] description: redirect plugin

Explanation

When the Apache ShenYu gateway makes proxy calls to the target service, it also allows users to use the redirect plugin to redirect requests.

Plugin Setting

• In shenyu-admin --> BasicConfig --> Plugin --> redirect , set to enable.
• If the user don't use, please disable the plugin in the background.
• Selectors and rules, only matching requests will be forwarded and redirected, please see: Selector And Rule Config .

Maven Dependency

Add the plugin dependency in the pom.xml file of the shenyu-bootstrap project.

  <!-- apache shenyu redirect plugin start-->
  <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.shenyu</groupId>
      <artifactId>shenyu-spring-boot-starter-plugin-redirect</artifactId>
     <version>${project.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <!-- apache shenyu redirect plugin end-->

Situation

As the name suggests, the redirect plugin is to re-forward and redirect uri.

Redirect

• When we configure a custom path in Rule, it should be a reachable service path.
• When the request is matched, the ShenYu Gateway will perform the 308 service jump according to the customized path.

Gateway's own interface forwarding

• When the matching rules are met, the service will use the DispatcherHandler internal interface for forwarding.
• To implement the gateway's own interface forwarding, we need to use / as the prefix in the configuration path. The specific configuration is as shown in the figure below.
