http-res-redirect

install

npm install http-res-redirect

return

var http = require('http-res-redirect');

• it returns a http object;
• you only need change require('http) to require('http-res-redirect');

example

var http = require('http-res-redirect');
var app  = require('connect')();

app.use('/redirect',(req,res,next) => {
  res.redirect(301,'/hello');
  // statusCode 302 by default
  res.redirect('/hello');
  //res.redirect('http://www.google.com');
})

app.use('/hello',(req,res,next) => {
  res.end('hello world');
})

var server = http.Server(app);

server.listen(3006);

how it works ?

(req,res,next) => {}

• The res is an instance of http.ServerResponse, so we can append a redirect property to http.ServerResponse.prototype, like:

http.ServerResponse.prototype.redirect = function (code,url) {
  if ('string' === typeof code) {
    url = code;
    code = 302;
  }
  this.statusCode = code;
  this.setHeader('Location',url);
  this.end();
}
