Get request not found, attempt to set ?value parameters inside a url-CodePudding

I did this get, with the intention of returning the amount of clients that the application needed, but insomnia only returns that it didn't find the route:

server.get('/consultclients?amount=1', (req,res) =>{
let amount = req.params.amount;

return res.json({amount})
})

Request insomnia: localhost:3003/consultclients?amount=10

I tried with a method that I used to search for an id, but I don't think it's the right method to use, even though it works:

server.get('/consultclients/:amount', (req,res) =>{
let amount = req.params.amount;

return res.json({amount})
})

Request insomnia: localhost:3003/consultclients/10

CodePudding user response：

Try the base path .get('/consultclients', …), and then see if req.query.amount (req.query instead of req.params) is populated when you make your request.

CodePudding user response：

You are trying to access the search params. You can find them in the req.query in the request object instead of the req.params

This code example should work for you:

server.get('/consultclients', (req,res) =>{
  let amount = req.query.amount;

  return res.json({amount})
})
