In Node.js, you can redirect a POST request to another route by using the res.redirect() method in the route handler function. Here is an example of how you can redirect a POST request to another route:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
// route for handling the POST request
app.post('/submitForm', (req, res) => {
// do some processing with the form data
// redirect to another route after processing the form data
res.redirect('/success');
});
// route for the redirected request
app.get('/success', (req, res) => {
res.send('Form submitted successfully!');
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

In this example, when a POST request is made to the /submitForm route, the server processes the form data and then redirects the request to the /success route. The user will then see the "Form submitted successfully!" message in their browser.
