After encountering some difficulties with domain registration and poor planning, I found myself in a situation where I needed to quickly create a React app that simply redirects to another site upon loading. To achieve this, I developed a component as shown below:
class App extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
window.location.replace("insert url here");
}
render() {
return (
<div className="App">
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
While this approach worked flawlessly during development, it failed to redirect when the project was deployed on netlify. I am now looking for ways to address this issue and understand why it occurs.
