After submitting a remote form with Rails, how do I redirect the user to another page?

Question

I’m using Rails 4.2.3. I want to submit a form in a modal dialog, so I have set up my form like so

<%= form_for @my_object, :remote => true do |f| %>

You can do the following:

#app/controllers/redirect.rb
...

format.js { render js: "window.location='#{url.to_s}'" }

...

If you like keeping things separated, just put format.js in your controller and do the javascript redirect in your view (redirect.js.erb)

In both cases, just set flash[:notice] to whatever you need before redirecting.
