Response Time - NodeJS + Express

I have a little problem with my application. My architecture:

There is a part, in my NodeJS application, that communicates with a REST API.

When an user clicks on button on the Angular WebSite, I send a request to Express.

In my Express application, I send another request to the API to retrieve information.

But this process takes a lot of time. My request timeout

What is the best solution to keep my process working after the Express reply has been sent? Should I do otherwise?

Assuming the problem is with timeout, you can increase the default timeout:

You may set the timeout either globally for entire server. Read more here:

var server = app.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
  //Server is running
});
server.timeout = 1000; //1000 is one second.

or just for specific route. Read more here:

app.post('/xxx', function (req, res) {
   req.setTimeout(500000);
});

You can also change the timeout for the other API request you are making. Read more here

//Assuming you are using request module.
var options = {
    url:  'http://url',
    timeout: 120000
}

request(options, function(err, resp, body) {});
