Ok  I ll try to help you using one my examples  First of all  you need to know I am using express for my application directory structure and for creating files like app js in an automatically way  My login html looks like        lt div class  form  gt   lt h2 gt Login information lt  h2 gt   lt form action   login  method    post  gt     lt input type  text  placeholder  E-Mail  name  email  required  gt     lt input type  password  placeholder  Password  name  password  required  gt     lt button gt Login lt  button gt   lt  form gt      The important thing here is action   login   This is the path I use in my index js  for navigating between the views  which look like this   app post   login   passport authenticate  login         successRedirect     home        failureRedirect     login        failureFlash   true       app get   home   function request  response            response render  pages home          This allows me to redirect to another page after a succesful login  There is a helpful tutorial you could check out for redirecting between pages   http   cwbuecheler com web tutorials 2014 restful-web-app-node-express-mongodb   To read a statement like  lt    user attributes name    let s have a look at a simple profile html which has the following structure    lt div id    profile  gt   lt h3 gt Profilinformationen lt  h3 gt       lt form gt           lt fieldset gt               lt label id    usernameLabel  gt Username  lt  label gt               lt input type    text  id  usernameText  value     lt    user user username   gt     gt               lt br gt           lt  fieldset gt       lt  form gt      To get the the attributes of the user variable  you have to initialize a user variable in your routing js  called index js in my case   This looks like  app get   profile   auth  function request  response        response render  pages profile             user   request user               I am using mongoose for my object model   var mongoose   require  mongoose    var bcrypt     require  bcrypt-nodejs    var role       require    role     var userSchema   mongoose Schema       user                         username       String          email          String          password       String             Ask me anytime for further questions    Best regards  Nazar

Nazar Medeiros - Your solution uses passport with Express  I am not using passport  just express-jwt  I might be doing something wrong  but when a user logs in  the token needs to return to the client side  From what I have found so far  this means we have to return a json with the token and therefor cannot call redirect   Is there something I am missing there    To get around this  I simply return the token  store it in my cookies and then make a ajax GET request  with the valid token   When that ajax call returns I replace the body s html with the returned HTML   This is probably not the right way to do it  but I can t find a better way   Here is my JQuery JavaScript code   function loginUser        post   users login         username       login input username    val       password       login input password    val       done function res       document cookie    token       res token      redirectToHome            function redirectToHome      var settings          async   true       crossDomain   true       url     home        type    GET        headers            authorization    Bearer     getCookie  token           cache-control    no-cache                 ajax settings  done function  response           body   replaceWith response            function getCookie cname        var name   cname            var decodedCookie   decodeURIComponent document cookie       var ca   decodedCookie split           for var i   0  i  lt ca length  i              var c   ca i           while  c charAt 0                        c   c substring 1                     if  c indexOf name     0                return c substring name length  c length                       return

If the user successful login into your Node app  I m thinking that you are using Express  isn t   Well you can redirect easy by using res redirect  Like   app post   auth   function req  res         Your logic and then redirect   res redirect   user profile

The If else statement needs to be wrapped in a  get or a  post to redirect   Such as   app post   login   function req  res          or  app get   login   function req  res
