How to get GET (query string) variables in Express.js on Node.js?

Question

Can we get the variables in the query string in Node.js just like we get them in $_GET in PHP?

I know that in Node.js we can get the URL in the request.

Answer 1

For Express.js you want to do req.params:

app.get('/user/:id', function(req, res) {
  res.send('user' + req.params.id);    
});
