Propery Way to Redirect Automatic in NextJS

Question

I have an index page and I wanted to redirect to /orders page when he gets into the index page. What is the proper and correct way to do this? I'm using NextJS, Apollo Client and React.

import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
import withApollo from '../apollo'

const Index = () => {
  const router = useRouter()
  return router.replace('/orders')
}

export default withApollo(Index)

For redirect in Nextjs, there is a setting in next.config.js you would need to add:

You will need to add a redirects key to the settings:

module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/',
        destination: '/orders',
        permanent: true,
      },
    ]
  },
}
