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

It actually simple:

const express= require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/post', (req, res, next) => {
  res.send('ID:' + req.query.id + ' Edit:'+ req.query.edit);
});

app.listen(1000);

// localhost:1000/post?id=123&edit=true
// output: ID: 123 Edit: true
