| Get Query Parameter Input from the Client |
Get Query Parameter Input from the Client
Given the endpoint URL, /name?first=firstname&last=lastname, we can extract the query parameters (first and last) and their corresponding values from the req.query object and send a custom JSON response containing values derived from the query parameters to the client.
Solution
app.get("/name", function(req, res) {
var firstName = req.query.first;
var lastName = req.query.last;
// OR you can destructure and rename the keys
var { first: firstName, last: lastName } = req.query;
// Use template literals to form a formatted string
res.json({
name: `${firstName} ${lastName}`
});
});
