- Hello! This is a publicly accessible home page.
It can be accessed
- by both the / and
- /home paths. By simply
- setting a cookie, Vercel can take logged-in users to
- /dashboard using a redirect
- or a rewrite.
-
- Change the my-router-cookie cookie in the navbar and navigate
- around.
-
When set to:
-null
- / will show this Home page, and visiting
- /dashboard will show the Dashboard page.
- - No bueno. This is default behavior but it's not a good user - experience because users will have to click a link to navigate to their dashboard every time they visit - your website. -
-redirect
- / redirects to
- /dashboard
- - Better. This may cause a slight delay while the redirect occurs, but - Vercel does it server-side and it's still really fast. -
-rewrite
- / shows the contents of
- /dashboard without changing the URL
- - Best. This creates a seamless experience where visiting acme.com - shows the website for public users and the dashboard for logged-in - users. -
-
- Good question. It would suck to force your users to log out before they
- can see your website. That's why companies reserve /home as a
- route for logged-in users. Here are some examples:

- This demo has gone ahead and done that, so try clicking /home
