req.params vs req.query 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: req.params req.query

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),

Example 3: req.params

params. An object containing parameter values parsed from the URL path. For example if you have the route /user/:name , then the "name" from the URL path wil be available as req.params.name .

Example 4: req.params vs req.body

//this is just for me lol
	* req.user: object make by passport.js added to req that include a username and user id
	* req.params: from path segments of URL that match a route definition parameter 
    	* /song/:id
	* req.body: hold parameters sent by post request (like form data)
