Pages

Pages in Reflex allow you to define components for different URLs. This section covers creating pages, handling URL arguments, accessing query parameters, managing page metadata, and handling page load events.

You can create a page by defining a function that returns a component. By default, the function name will be used as the route, but you can also specify a route.

def index():
    return rx.text("Root Page")


def about():
    return rx.text("About Page")


def custom():
    return rx.text("Custom Route")


app = rx.App()

app.add_page(index)
app.add_page(about)
app.add_page(custom, route="/custom-route")

In this example we create three pages:

• index - The root route, available at /
• about - available at /about
• custom - available at /custom-route

You can also use the @rx.page decorator to add a page.

@rx.page(route="/", title="My Beautiful App")
def index():
    return rx.text("A Beautiful App")

This is equivalent to calling app.add_page with the same arguments.

Links are accessible elements used primarily for navigation. Use the href prop to specify the location for the link to navigate to.

rx.link("Reflex Home Page.", href="https://reflex.dev/")

You can also provide local links to other pages in your project without writing the full url.

rx.link(
    "Example",
    href="/docs/library",
)

Redirect the user to a new path within the application using rx.redirect().

• path: The destination path or URL to which the user should be redirected.
• external: If set to True, the redirection will open in a new tab. Defaults to False.

rx.vstack(
    rx.button(
        "open in tab",
        on_click=rx.redirect(
            "/docs/api-reference/special_events"
        ),
    ),
    rx.button(
        "open in new tab",
        on_click=rx.redirect(
            "https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex/",
            external=True,
        ),
    ),
)

Redirect can also be run from an event handler in State, meaning logic can be added behind it. It is necessary to return the rx.redirect().

class Redirect2ExampleState(rx.State):
    redirect_to_org: bool = False

    def change_redirect(self):
        self.redirect_to_org = not self.redirect_to_org

    @rx.var
    def url(self) -> str:
        return (
            "https://github.com/reflex-dev/"
            if self.redirect_to_org
            else "https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex/"
        )

    def change_page(self):
        return rx.redirect(self.url, external=True)


def redirect_example():
    return rx.vstack(
        rx.text(f"{Redirect2ExampleState.url}"),
        rx.button(
            "Change redirect location",
            on_click=Redirect2ExampleState.change_redirect,
        ),
        rx.button(
            "Redirect to new page in State",
            on_click=Redirect2ExampleState.change_page,
        ),
    )

Pages can also have nested routes.

@rx.page(route="/nested/page")
def nested_page():
    return rx.text("Nested Page")


app = rx.App()

This component will be available at /nested/page.

The router.page.path attribute allows you to obtain the path of the current page from the router data, for dynamic pages this will contain the slug rather than the actual value used to load the page.

To get the actual URL displayed in the browser, use router.page.raw_path. This will contain all query parameters and dynamic path segments.

class State(rx.State):
    def some_method(self):
        current_page_route = self.router.page.path
        current_page_url = self.router.page.raw_path
        # ... Your logic here ...

In the above example, current_page_route will contain the route pattern (e.g., /posts/[id]), while current_page_url will contain the actual URL (e.g., http://example.com/posts/123).

To get the full URL, access the same attributes with full_ prefix.

Example:

class State(rx.State):
    @rx.var
    def current_url(self) -> str:
        return self.router.page.full_raw_path

In this example, running on localhost should display http://localhost:3000/user/hey/posts/3/

You can use the router.session.client_ip attribute to obtain the IP address of the client associated with the current state.

class State(rx.State):
    def some_method(self):
        client_ip = self.router.session.client_ip
        # ... Your logic here ...
