On Redirect, New Route Data is not displayed












0















On a successful login attempt, the user is redirected to root, but instead of showing root information, the content of auth is still displayed.



I'm working on a little web app. So, my issue is that I have two different flows, and auth flow and a main flow. I do not want the user to have access to the main flow if they are not signed in. When a user signs in, the app redirects root. On the redirect, the content of the auth flow is still present. My question is, how can I redirect from say auth to another url and present the desired data.



P.S. compiler is coming from webpack



//auth route
app.get('/auth', (req, res, next) => {
const filename = path.resolve(compiler.outputPath, "auth.html");
compiler.outputFileSystem.readFile(filename, (err, result) => {
if (err) {
return next(err)
}
res.set('content-type', 'text/html')
res.send(result)
res.end()
})
});

//hypothetical main section
app.get('*', (req, res, next) => {
res.send('tst')
})


The actual result is the contents of auth.html within http://localhost:8080



The desired result would be test appearing in http://localhost:8080 on the redirect.



***The correct content is displayed on force reload.
