res.send in API redirects to API URL

Question

I'm working on an API project which communicate with another API, my front is AngularJS. I take back the project, I don't understand the whole of it yet...

Here is my current situation: I'm on http://localhost:3004/#/references/add/pictures When I post a picture, it return me the name of the picture hashed with random characters, this is what I want. BUT when picture is posted, it redirects me to the API's URL where the picture is posted which is http://localhost:3000/api/pictures I would like to stay on my first page and just get the name of my picture to use it in my form. I identified the lines which sends the picture:

const router = require('express').Router()

// Uploads file to DB
router.post('/', upload.single('file'), (req, res) => {
  res.send(res.req.file.filename);
});

I'm not a crack in node.js, just learning, I hope you understand my question which is:

How can I do to post a picture, get the picture name generated (to use it), and stay on my page http://localhost:3004/#/references/add/pictures ?

Thanks for replies

what's the `router` variable? I believe what you're looking for is https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http — Hagai Wild, Jul 23 '18 at 07:59
