[feature request] Redirect render a hidden a tag to support SEO.

Can I do it?

const app = <StaticRouter context={context}>XXXXXXX</StaticRouter>;
const stream = renderToNodeStream(app);
stream.pipe(res);
stream.on('end', () => {
  if (context.url) { res.redirect(context.url) }
});

No, I can not.

HTTP doesn’t support Redirect in the middle of body.

But I want to use renderToNodeStream to shorted uses’ waiting time. I want SSR for SEO too.

But many crawlers of the search engine don’t support js. They don’t know to redirect to another url without HTTP status 302.

So, why not give them an a tag?

Then:

• Browser receives node_stream, and hydrate, and found <Redirect to={xxxx}/>, then redirect.
• Crawler receives node_stream, found an a tag, crawl it.

Or leave what to render to user: <Redirect to={xxx}>{url => <a style={{display:'none'}} href={url} />}</Redirect>

Yes, that would work.

@timdorr You mean?

<Switch>
  <Route xxxx />
  <Route xxxx />
  <Route xxxx />
  <Route render={props => is_server ? <a href="xxxx"/> : <Redirect to="xxxx" />} />
</Switch>
