@Lasalot for next 12.2+ how can i replace the return new Response (line 118~122) to NextResponse.rewrite or NextResponse.redirect ?

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';

export function middleware(request) {
  // Your own logic
  if (someCondition) {
    // Rewrite request to a different URL
    const url = request.nextUrl.clone();
    url.pathname = '/new-path'; // The new path you want to redirect to

    return NextResponse.rewrite(url);
  }

//Default response
  return NextResponse.next();
}

For redirect:

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';

export function middleware(request) {
  // Your own logic
  if (someCondition) {
    // Redirect to a different URL
    const url = new URL('/new-path', request.url);
    return NextResponse.redirect(url, 301); // 301 for permanent redirect
  }

  // Default response
  return NextResponse.next();
}
