Example 1
Create a file with the name "reqParams.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node reqParams.js" to run this code as shown in the example below −
// req.params Property Demo Example
// Importing the express
var express = require('express');
// Initializing the express and port number
var app = express();
// Initializing the router from express
var router = express.Router();
var PORT = 3000;
// Defining an Endpoint
app.get('/api/:name', function (req, res) {
console.log(req.params['name']);
res.send(req.params['name']);
});
app.listen(PORT, function(err){
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT);
});
Hit the following Endpoint with a GET request −

console.log("Name : ", req.params['name']);
console.log("TagLine : ", req.params['tagLine'])
res.send(req.params['name']);
});
app.listen(PORT, function(err){
