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. Is there a method to get the query string parameters?
In Express it's already done for you and you can simply use req.query for that:
var id = req.query.id; // $_GET["id"]
Otherwise, in NodeJS, you can access req.url and the builtin url
module to [url.parse]
(https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_url_parse_urlstring_parsequerystring_slashesdenotehost) it manually:
var url = require('url');
var url_parts = url.parse(request.url, true);
var query = url_parts.query;
Since you've mentioned Express.js in your tags, here is an Express-specific answer: use req.query. E.g.
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.send('id: ' + req.query.id);
});
app.listen(3000);
