I would like to redirect users in my middleware. However, Next.js middleware behaves inconsistently. If I place the middleware in /pages/_middleware.ts
the redirect will work. If I place it in /pages/api/_middleware.ts
the redirect will not work.
// /pages/_middleware.ts
export function middleware() {
return NextResponse.redirect(
`http://example.com`
);
}
// /pages/api/_middleware.ts
export function middleware() {
return NextResponse.redirect(
`http://example.com`
);
}
