Allow to redirect user for an outbound API

[alii]

Something like this works but feels rather hacky, I wondered if there was a better way

export const oauth = createRouter().query('/outbound', {
	input: z.object({platform: platformSchema}),
	async resolve({ctx, input}) {
		const oauth = OAuthPlatforms.get(input.platform);
		const url = await oauth.getRedirectURL();
		ctx.res.setHeader('Location', url);
		ctx.res.statusCode = 302;
	},
});

Where the following would work:

function OAuthLink({platform}: {platform: Platform}) {
  return <a href={`${API_URL}/oauth/outbound?input=${JSON.stringify({platform})}`}>Login with {platform}</a>;
}

tRPC is not really built for dealing with redirect-flows and stuff like that, it's for JSON-based communication from client<->server.

You're better off making a Next.js api function to handle your OAuth-flow

Makes sense, thank you!
