get url after “#” in express.js middleware request

Question

I need to get url on server middleware (using express.js). I use req.url but when url starts from /#some/url req.url returns /...

Use the built-in url module which is available in Node.js to parse the URL and create a urlObject. This will have a hash fragment property containing the hash fragment you want.

const url = require('url')
const urlObj = url.parse(req.url)
console.log(urlObj.hash) // #some/url
