How to Rewrite URL Programmatically in Magento 2
The term URL rewrite is important in SEO, as it makes URLs meaningful and readable. For example, you want to redirect your customers to particular Product/category Pages, URL of that pages is like http://www.xyz.com/catalog_id/?id=3 then the customer can not reach that Product/Category pages. For that, you need to make such a URL that customers can easily reach. Like http://www.xyz.com/dash-digital-watch, Now, customers and search engines both can easily get to your Product/Category pages.
- To generate the constructor, you have to use below block of code in your controller file: Here, we have used Magento\UrlRewrite\Model\UrlRewriteFactory instance and created its object($urlRewriteFactory).
- In execute method, create URL rewrite factory.
- Set Entity Type as you rewrite URL is custom URL or CMS page or category page or product page, then set store ID in which you want to rewrite URL.
- Set 0 to the setIsSystem() as URL is not created by the system.
- We have set the random unique value to the ID path. Then set Target Path and Requested Path.
- After that, set Redirect Type. 301 is for Permanent redirect and 302 is for Temporary Redirect.
- That's How you can rewrite the URL and navigate the customer to the link you want.
<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Controller;
use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context;
class YourController
{
/**
* @var \Magento\UrlRewrite\Model\UrlRewriteFactory
*/
protected $_urlRewriteFactory;
/**
* @param Context $context
* @param \Magento\UrlRewrite\Model\UrlRewriteFactory $urlRewriteFactory
*/
public function __construct(
Context $context,
\Magento\UrlRewrite\Model\UrlRewriteFactory $urlRewriteFactory
)
{
$this->_urlRewriteFactory = $urlRewriteFactory;
parent::__construct($context);
}
public function execute() {
$urlRewriteModel = $this→_urlRewriteFactory→create();
/*set entity type you if you want to rewrite url for “custom”, “for cms page”, “for product”,“for category” */
$urlRewriteModel→setEntityType('custom');
/*for set current store ID */
$urlRewriteModel→setStoreId(1);
/*set 0 as this url is not created by system */
$urlRewriteModel→setIsSystem(0);
/* unique identifier - place random unique value to ID path */
$urlRewriteModel→setIdPath(rand(1, 100000));
/* set actual url path to target path field */
$urlRewriteModel→setTargetPath(‘target-url.html’);
/* set requested path which you want to create */
$urlRewriteModel→setRequestPath(‘requested-url.html’);
/*set Redirect type*/
$urlRewriteModel→setRedirectType(301);
/* save URL rewrite rule */
$urlRewriteModel→save();
}
}
