How can I send a success status to browser from nodejs/express?


Express Update 2015:

Use this instead:

res.sendStatus(200)

This has been deprecated:

res.send(200)  


Just wanted to add, that you can send json via the res.json() helper.

res.json({ok:true}); // status 200 is default

res.json(500, {error:"internal server error"}); // status 500

Update 2015:

res.json(status, obj) has been deprecated in favor of res.status(status).json(obj)

res.status(500).json({error: "Internal server error"});


In express 4 you should do:

res.status(200).json({status:"ok"})

instead of the deprecated:

res.json(200,{status:"ok"})
