How to redirect to a top route from a nested route with node express?

Question

How can I redirect to a top route from a nested route?

On the code below, the callback for the route /toproute/nested should redirect to /profile instead of /toproute/profile .

// app.js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const topRoutes = require('./top-routes');

app.use('/toproute', topRoutes);

app.use('/about', (req, res) => {
    res.send('About');
});

app.listen(4200, () => {});

// top-routes.js - /toproute

const router = require('express').Router();

router.use('/nested', (req, res) => {
  res.redirect('/profile'); // Should redirect to /profile instead of /toproute/profile
}););

As express document , you can pass a relative path to redirect .

In your case, you can use res.redirect('../profile'); instead of res.redirect('/profile');
