how do you redirect to a route outside of the system? about universal-router

[Download]

Just for future viewers: The client-side redirect equivalent would just be:

location = 'http://app.example.io';

which would send the user away to the other site.

and just a FYI, not talking about just a simple link that user clicks, this would be a redirect done programmatically. I'm using the React Starter Kit

You don't want redirection on HTTP level, right? Just user click and (do you want to track him?) will be redirected. It's plain old <a href="..."></a>.

Yeah, you wish track user?

so not a plain . Want to accomplish this programmatically. For example, a user clicks the sign out link....that goes to the server server, logs out, kills tokens, what not, then i redirect the user to a different site. I believe react-router, something to this affect, just to illustrate an example:

router.redirectTo('http://www.google.com')

Hmm, I'm not sure.. User click just one time, I am right? .... Who cares... just.. what do you want from universal-router? I'm still don't catching your point.. You can redirect outside by many ways. Do you asking or trying?

Actually, the more i think about it, this isn't a universal router issue, rather just a straight up node.js redirect

res.redirect('http://app.example.io');
