Now enter pairs of old and new urls for redirection!

Have a look at the code if you are interested :)

const response = await graphql(`
query redirects {
  allContentstackRedirects {
    edges {
      node {
        urls_mapping {
          old_url
          new_url
        }
      }
    }
  }
}`)

const allEntries = response.data.allContentstackRedirects.edges
let urls

if (allEntries)
{
  allEntries.forEach(entry => {
    urls = entry.node.urls_mapping

    if (urls)
    {
      createRedirect({ fromPath: urls.old_url, toPath: urls.new_url, isPermanent: true })
    }
  })
}
