I have a middleware in Next.js:

export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const isUserLoggedIn = ...

  if (isUserLoggedIn) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/user', request.url));
  }

  return NextResponse.next();
}

Basically, if user is logged in redirect to private route of the app (this is just a simple example).

The problem is that when redirecting, the middleware get called again in the new page and redirects again and so forth (infinite loop).

I tried using rewrite instead of redirect but the url is not changing and generally I don’t think this case requires this method.

Someone encountered this behaviour before? Can someone suggest a safe solution?
