Menu
I want to save the data submitted by the user through a form using post method and then redirect it to another html page that I have on my local machine, is there any way to achieve this using Node.js or express how do I do that?
Here is the html code for form:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form action="post_register.html" method="POST">
university name:<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="University name"><br>
faculty Username:<input type="text" name="facul" placeholder="faculty username"><br>
password:<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="password"><br>
<button >register</button>
</form>
</body>
and here is the javascript file:
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var bodyparser=require("body-parser");
app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.listen(3000);
app.get("/domain_register",function(req,res)
{
res.sendFile(__dirname+"/domain_register.html");
})
app.post("/post_register",function(req,res)
{
console.log(req.body);
res.end("yes");
});
all I want is that after pressing submit button the data is received and the user is redirected to post_register.html file.

The res. redirect() function lets you redirect the user to a different URL by sending an HTTP response with status 302. The HTTP client (browser, Axios, etc.) will then "follow" the redirect and send an HTTP request to the new URL as shown below.
node-js-http-redirect-file-not-found.jscreateServer(function (req, res) { var filePath = req. url. substring(1); fs. readFile(filePath, function(err, data) { // if there is an error reading the file, redirect it to page-b.
I tested below code in my computer and it worked. I added res.redirect('/success') line to the post request handler and created an handler for /success path:
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html')
})
You can change /success path with your naming choice.
App.js
var express = require('express')
var app = express()
var bodyparser = require('body-parser')
app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({ extended: true }))
app.listen(3000)
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html')
})
app.get('/success', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/success.html')
})
app.post('/register', function (req, res) {
console.log(req.body)
res.redirect('/success')
})
index.html
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="/register">
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="password" name="password">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
success.html
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
</body>
</html>
