const sessionWithRedirect = (userSessionInfo || []).find( session => session.redirect ); const { redirect } = sessionWithRedirect || {}; if (redirect) { window.location.href = redirect; }

This code snippet checks an array of user session information for a specific session that has a redirect property defined. If such a session is found, it redirects the user to the specified URL. Here's a step-by-step explanation of what the code does:

  1. Destructure and Search for a Session with Redirect:

    const sessionWithRedirect = (userSessionInfo || []).find(
        session => session.redirect
    );
    
    • Assumes userSessionInfo is an array of session objects (or defaults to an empty array if userSessionInfo is falsy).
    • Uses the .find() method to iterate through the array and retrieve the first session object where the redirect property exists and is truthy.
  2. Extract the Redirect Property:

    const { redirect } = sessionWithRedirect || {};
    
    • If a session with the redirect property was found, it extracts that property's value into the redirect variable.
    • If no session was found (sessionWithRedirect is undefined), it defaults to an empty object {}, making redirect undefined.
  3. Perform the Redirect:

    if (redirect) {
        window.location.href = redirect;
    }
    
    • If the redirect variable is truthy (i.e., a URL is present), the window.location.href is set to redirect, which causes the browser to navigate to the specified URL.

Summary:

This code:

  • Checks an array (userSessionInfo) for the first session object with a redirect property.
  • If a valid redirect URL is found, it navigates the user's browser to that URL.
