res.redirect([status,] path)
Redirects to the URL derived from the specified path, with specified status, a positive integer that corresponds to an HTTP status code . If not specified, status defaults to “302 “Found”.
1 2 3 4 | res.redirect('/foo/bar');res.redirect('../login'); |
Redirects can be a fully-qualified URL for redirecting to a different site:
1 |
Redirects can be relative to the root of the host name. For example, if the application is on http://example.com/admin/post/new, the following would redirect to the URL http://example.com/admin:
1 | res.redirect('/admin'); |
Redirects can be relative to the current URL. For example, from http://example.com/blog/admin/ (notice the trailing slash), the following would redirect to the URL http://example.com/blog/admin/post/new.
1 | res.redirect('post/new'); |
Redirecting to post/new from http://example.com/blog/admin (no trailing slash), will redirect to http://example.com/blog/post/new.
If you found the above behavior confusing, think of path segments as directories (with trailing slashes) and files, it will start to make sense.
Path-relative redirects are also possible. If you were on http://example.com/admin/post/new, the following would redirect to http//example.com/admin/post:
1 | res.redirect('..'); |
A back redirection redirects the request back to the referer, defaulting to / when the referer is missing.
1 | res.redirect('back'); |
