node express get path code example

Example 1: express router file

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

// middleware that is specific to this router
router.use(function timeLog (req, res, next) {
  console.log('Time: ', Date.now());
  next();
});
// define the home page route
router.get('/', function (req, res) {
  res.send('Birds home page');
});
// define the about route
router.get('/about', function (req, res) {
  res.send('About birds');
});

module.exports = router;

Example 2: express url redirect

const app = require('express')();

// The `res.redirect()` function sends back an HTTP 302 by default.
// When an HTTP client receives a response with status 302, it will send
// an HTTP request to the URL in the response, in this case `/to`
app.get('/from', (req, res) => {
  res.redirect('/to');
});
app.get('/to', (req, res) => res.send('Hello, World!'));

Example 3: express route parameters

Route path: /flights/:from-:to
Request URL: http://localhost:3000/flights/LAX-SFO
req.params: { "from": "LAX", "to": "SFO" }
