How can you redirect using a 302 from within the routes.rb file?

The user's search experience may be the same as both options land the user on the appropriate webpage. However, search engines handle these types of URL redirects differently - the 302 redirect means that the page has been moved temporarily and other, 301, means that a new page has taken over permanently.
Routes are defined in the file config/routes. rb, as shown (with some extra comments) in Listing 3.1. This file is created when you first create your Rails application. It comes with a few routes already written and in most cases you'll want to change and/or add to the routes defined in it.
What is a 302 redirect? Whereas a 301 redirect is a permanent relocation of your URL, a 302 redirect is a temporary change that redirects both users and search engines to the desired new location for a limited amount of time, until the redirect is removed.
You can pass in the status to the redirect in the route statement. For example, to do a 302 redirect:
In the routes.rb
get '/old/path', to: redirect('/new/path', status: 302) I hope this helps someone else!
