title: Pass String along a res.redirect(path) call in Express Node project
body: <p>I am using <code>res.redirect('/')</code> after a save operation in an Express project</p>
  
  <p>How can I pass a certain string along with the redirect? I want to pass along some sort of notice to be displayed when the view is rendered. Many of my save/delete operations lead back to the main site or a certain subpage, so I would need a way to pass the string into the template where I can render it nicely.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Coffee, Express and Jade for this project.</p>
  
  <p>The function that catches that redirect is structured as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>app.get '/', (req, res) -&gt;
    // some stuff
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can i somehow add that string to the <code>req</code> object?</p>
