Render a view while Ajax expects a response - ajax

Question

I am building an express project, using ejs as a view engine, and AJAX for front-end http calls.
When I post a request such this:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: {'nickname' : $('#nickname').val()},
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
url: 'http://localhost:5000/create',
success: function(data) {
$('#message').text("Unkwon error");
},
error: function(data){
$('#message').text('Something went wrong, check connection!');
}
The Ajax keeps waiting for a response, which I am not willing to give, as I just want to render a view as follows :
app.post('/create', urlencodedParser, (req, res)=>{
let code = unique.generate(rooms);
res.render('chat', {'nickname' : req.body.nickname, 'code' : code}
Any ideas how can I work around this?

Answer 1

After some research, I found a way to do it.
Basically, I can just tell the Ajax to attach the document sent from rendering to the html body
$('body').html(data);
Surprisingly, this works event with Ejs dynamic tags.
I know it's not the best way to do it, but it's the only one I found till now.
EDIT 1:
After few months, I realized the solution is simple as just changing the Location using javascript
window.location.replace(`http://localhost:5000/newRequest`);
Now, I could handle this new request separately on the server.
EDIT 2:
After couple years now, I realized a GET request might have solved the problem in a single round trip.
