I am starting a series on node js. Actually I’m not super skilled with node js. So I thought let’s start from zero again and help others with me to learn about it. I saw the ‘the net ninja’ tutorials and took the syllabus from there and make a fusion of my own. I want to help you with my journey, let’s ride together into node js for 30 days…

Day 22 — Route Parameters— Learning Node JS In 30 Days [Mini series]

A full series to learn the basics easily of node js

Up until now we never passed any id with our route. What if we need to go to a specific profile ?

Like — profile/10 How we can load different using those id ?

We can get what user request after profile, how we can get it ? In this case they request for the 10 right ?

To catch the 10 we need to make a specific route like ‘/profile/:id’ this id will catch what request send after profile. So how to catch it ?

Just use req.params.id this will give us the id

See the result on the browser

So we get the details using req.params right ? So what is req.params ? we can easily console log it and what we got ?

An object contain the extra parameters we send with the url.

Now you know about using params, so you can create the profile page right ?
