node.js req.query.id code example

Example 1: difference between req.query and req.params

req.params contains route parameters
(in the path portion of the URL),
and req.query contains the URL query parameters
(after the ? in the URL).

You can also use req.param(name) to look up a parameter in both places
(as well as req.body),
but this method is now deprecated.

Example 2: expressjs query params

// GET /search?q=tobi+ferret
console.dir(req.query.q)
// => 'tobi ferret'

// GET /shoes?order=desc&shoe[color]=blue&shoe[type]=converse
console.dir(req.query.order)
// => 'desc'

console.dir(req.query.shoe.color)
// => 'blue'

console.dir(req.query.shoe.type)
// => 'converse'

// GET /shoes?color[]=blue&color[]=black&color[]=red
console.dir(req.query.color)
// => ['blue', 'black', 'red']
