We are about to deploy our site in reactjs and we have (re)moved one url but merged it in our main page so from /[product]/menu we merged it to /[product]. Now they said I should respond with 301 for /[product]/menu and redirect it to /[product], how do I accomplish that and some other pages as well?
How do I setup 301 redirects using react-router? Where do I setup what pages needs to be redirected to what other pages? I have my setup like this right now:
app.get('*', (req, res) => {
  // routes is our object of React routes defined above
  match({ routes, location: req.url }, (err, redirectLocation, props) => {
    console.log(redirectLocation);
    if (err) { // something went badly wrong, so 500 with a message
      res.status(500).send(err.message);
    // HERE: HOW DO I USE THIS?
    } else if (redirectLocation) { // we matched a ReactRouter redirect, so redirect from the server
      console.log('301/302 yeah!');
      res.redirect(301, redirectLocation.pathname + redirectLocation.search);
...
I use reactjs and express as well.
Edit Added route config.
const routes = {
  path: '',
  component: AppComponent,
  childRoutes: [{
    path: '/products',
    component: ProductsComponent,
    name: 'products'
  }, {
    path: '/:slug',
    component: ProductComponent,
    name: 'product'
  }]
}
Just in case. Added answer here:
const routes = {
  path: '',
  component: AppComponent,
  childRoutes: [{
    path: '/products',
    component: ProductsComponent,
    name: 'products'
  }, {
    path: '/:slug',
    component: ProductComponent,
    name: 'product'
  }, { 
    path: '/:product/menu', onEnter(nextState, replace) { replace(`/${nextState.params.product}`) }
  }, {
    path: '/oldlink/:testId', onEnter(nextState, replace) { replace({pathname: `http://newsite.com/oldlink/some/${nextState.params.testId}`}) }
  }]
}
                In the routes declaration, use <Redirect>. Example Here
