How to redirect on the server side when req is originating from the browser

[semyou]

Imagine the case when a user submits their login form. I want to be able to redirect on the api route on the server to a logged-in page. How do I achieve this?
Right now, browser sends a fetch with post to the api router /login. The API returns a res with status 200. I check if response.ok? then I do a router.push('/logged-in')

Yeas @semyou that's the approach.

@rafinskipg but that is super inefficient. Why not redirect straight from the API ?

@semyou what do you mean by super inefficient? You can not redirect straight from the API an ajax request. You can redirect straight from the API if you do a normal form submission. But for user experience the correct way is the one described before.

It is not super inefficient. It is being handled on the client-side. It does not cost you computation time.
