Solution 1:[1]

res.writeHead(302, {
    Location: 'http://front-end.com:8888/some/path'
});
res.end();

If you specify the full url you can redirect to another port using NodeJS.

You may use a web API (Express JS) in nodejs to build web api and frontend any plainJS or modren libaries that will send HTTP request to backend. It will help more.

Solution 3:[3]

In your case, you'd better auth request through Ajax, that way you can return some kind of jwt token if you're using it, or trigger any other session related action on frontend on successful login.

in my case, I was handling the verifyEmail on the backend of a nest.js server.

How I was able to redirect to the frontend after handling the request, was to use the res.redirect from express.


  @Get('verify/:token')
  async verifyUser(@Param('token') token, @Res() response: Response): Promise<any> {
    const redirectUrl = await  this.authService.verifyUserEmail(token);
    response.redirect(redirectUrl);
    return {redirectUrl};
  }

And, it worked like a charm.
