node express res.redirect without hash

Question

The page url is http://example.com/dashboard#/catalog. When the cookie expires, I do a

res.redirect('/login')

And the resulting url in the browser is http://example.com/login#/catalog.

How could I redirect without the hash part i.e Make the url to be http://example.com/login

Thanks for your help!!

which libraries are you using client-side? History.js or something like that? — Martin Schaer, Feb 28 '14 at 00:58
you could always clear your hash on your login page... `window.location.hash=''` — David Espino, Nov 16 '16 at 18:42

I don't know how you are doing the logout part, but assuming you're using a link tag you could do something like this

$("a#logout").on('click', function() {
  // the following was taken from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4508574/remove-hash-from-url
  var loc = window.location.href,
      index = loc.indexOf('#');
  if (index > 0) {
     window.location = loc.substring(0, index);
  }
});

node express res.redirect without hash
