Getting req.param undefined

Question

I am using Expressjs version 4.I am getting \'undefined\' on req.param. Here is my example : app.js

var express = require(\'express\');
var bodyParser = req         


        

Answer 1

For anyone experiencing similar issues make sure to use params instead of param.

// Correct way
req.params.ID

// Wrong way
req.param.ID

Answer 2

req.params Refers to the variables in your route path.

app.get("/posts/:id", ...

// => req.params.id

Post data can be referenced through req.body

app.post("/posts", ...

// => req.body.email

This assumes you are using the bodyParser middleware.

And then there is req.query, for those ?query=strings.

You can use req.param() for either of the 3 above. The look up order is params, body, query.

Answer 3

param is a function, not an object. So you need to use req.param('email');

Answer 4

Two types are parameter are present
1. query (req.query.('name defined in route'));
2. path (req.params.('name defined in route));
