`navigateTo` is available on both client and server side (but not within Nitro routes).

## Usage
`navigateTo` is available on both server side and client side. It can be used within the [Nuxt context](/docs/guide/going-further/nuxt-app#the-nuxt-context), or directly, to perform page navigation.
::tip
To send a redirect from a server endpoint, use [`sendRedirect`](https://h3.unjs.io/utils/response#sendredirectevent-location-code) instead.
::warning
Make sure to always use `await` or `return` on result of `navigateTo` when calling it.

### Within a Vue Component

```
When using `navigateTo` within route middleware, you must **return its result** to ensure the middleware execution flow works correctly.
For example, the following implementation **will not work as expected**:
```ts
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
if (to.path !== '/search') {
// ❌ This will not work as expected
navigateTo('/search', { redirectCode: 301 })
return
}
})
```
In this case, `navigateTo` will be executed but not returned, which may lead to unexpected behavior.
