req.query and req.param in ExpressJS

Question

Main differences between req.query and req.param in Express

• How are Both different from each other
• When to use then in wha

Answer 1

I would suggest using following

req.param('')

req.param("") works as following

Lookup is performed in the following order:

req.params
req.body
req.query

Direct access to req.body, req.params, and req.query should be favoured for clarity - unless you truly accept input from each object.
