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
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
