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| %>

If you are redirecting anyway, you might as well avoid the remote/AJAX call, and just redirect from the create action.

<%= form_for @my_object do |f| %>

and

def create
  @my_object = MyObject.new(my_object_params)
  ...
  redirect_to some_path
end
