Redirecting with nested routes in koa with koa-router

Question

How do I do redirects with nested routes using koa-router ?

app.js:

var router = require('koa-router')();
var route1 = require('./routes/route1');
var route2 = require('./routes/route2');

router.use('/route1', route1);
router.use('/route2', route2);

app.use(router.routes());

route1.js:

var router = require('koa-router')();

router.all('/', function *() {
    router.redirect('/route2');
});

module.exports = router.routes();

route2.js:

var router = require('koa-router')();

router.all('/', function *() {
    this.body = "route2";
});

The above code results in the following error at runtime when navigating to /route1 :

TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined

Ah, I need to learn to read. I interpretted the koa-router docs to say router.redirect() was intended to be used within an HTTP verb function.

The correct usage is below:

//either this

router.redirect('/route1', '/route2');

//or regular koa redirect

router.all('/route1', function *() {
    this.redirect('/route2');
});
