Document dynamic generation of Netlify `_redirects` file
I have URLs in my site which look like this:
/episode/15/the-boy-and-the-whale
I would like users who navigate to /episode/15/
to be redirected to the full URL with post slug. While this can be done with alias:
in the front matter, it's cleaner to dynamically generate the Netlify _redirects
file.
I have done this on another site with the TND Redirects Netlify module. But it looks like Doks may have its own way to do this already:
config.toml:
home = ["HTML", "RSS", "REDIRECTS", "HEADERS"]
# add output format for netlify _redirects
[outputFormats.REDIRECTS]
mediaType = "text/netlify"
baseName = "_redirects"
isPlainText = true
notAlternative = true
I don't see any information in the docs about how to use this output format, though. So I'd like to know if this is already possible, or if I should try to integrate TND Redirects Netlify instead.
