Hi! I have a landing page, and an auth button. When a user is authenticated, I want to redirect them to a /user page, meaning that they are not able to open the landing page. Where is the perfect location to put a redirect logic in the app?

@Irish Terrier do you use server actions for auth?

if your landing page, you can put redirection logic before rendering the UI.

Thanks @James4u ! Yeah, I know there are a variety of options, but I thought maybe I should put it inside the middleware.ts

but I think your proposal is better and I should leave it on a page level

sure, and by middleware.ts you mean the global middleware?

but as far as i can tell, this is a decent solution. not sure if it's the best
