Is there a way to redirect a NuxtJs application using Express server?

I have a NuxtJs application initialized with Express server using npx create-nuxt-app <project-name>. It is set for server-side rendering.

Express has access to NuxtJs middleware like so. ( Which comes by default when Nuxt app is created )

app.use(nuxt.render)

Now I have created a different route file in server side that handles API routes. This route works as I can access data using Axios. I have added this route right before the above code, like this. ( API routes don't work if it is added after )

app.use('/api', apiRoutes)
app.use(nuxt.render)

There is a route where, after some operation, I need to redirect the application to another page. I tried using res.redirect('/some-route'), which is an Express way for redirection but that didn't work.

Am I missing something here? Is there some other way we do redirection from server side in Nuxt application that I'm totally unaware of?

nuxt.js express

Finally found the way to redirect from the back-end.

res.writeHead(301, { Location: url })
res.end()

Here is the link to Nuxt GitHub issue comment for detailed example using server middleware.

Alternatively, you could respond with desired value to the font-end and based on the value received, you can re-direct from the front-end.
