Fixes SentateURL by creating a redirect page and function

Open zhik opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Fixes #89 by creating an extra property redirectUrl for layers that does a lookup for the NYSenate url via the https://pubgeo.nysenate.gov/api/v2/map/senate endpoint.

See docs for the endpoint here

The redirectUrl is activated when /?redirect query parameter exist in the url.

A screenshot of the redirect page. First line reads "You are being redirected..." Second line is an error message "If you are stuck, try the following: url to webpage"

@zhik Do we need to redirect users? The original district URLs should be restored soon: https://github.com/nysenate/NYSenate.gov-Website-D9/issues/41

The district URLs are working correctly now, without redirects:

Great. I will undo the changes but keep the function to redirect for other district types.
