How do I force window.location.href to redirect as JS Rails 6-CodePudding

I have a controller create action called by a JS/ajax call.

Started POST "/some_domain/some_controller" for at Allowed networks: 127.0.0.0/127.255.255.255, ::1 Processing by SomeController#create as JS

But when I try to send back a redirect to another controllers edit action using window.location.href, it rdirects as HTML. I want it to call the controller action as JS.

Controller

render js: "window.location.href =' #{edit_different_controller_path(@object.id)}'"

Started GET "/some_domain/different_controller/186/edit" for 115.70.22.192 at Allowed networks: 127.0.0.0/127.255.255.255, ::1 Processing by DifferentController#edit as HTML

Thanks for any advice!

Add the format arg to the options of your url helper.

return redirect_to some_helper_url format: :js

It'll send back a url with the appropriate .js on the end.
