I have to pass a name from an input form in my ejs file and handle it in my post request-CodePudding

I have an ejs file where i want the user to enter into the form an username which i will then use in my .get request to do some logic, but my usename isnt correctly being got its showing as undefined.

index.ejs:

<form action="/entry" method="GET">
  <label>Enter Name <input  type="text" name="name"></label>
  <input  type="submit" value="index" >
</form>

enrty.js where i have my get request:

router.get("/entry" , async(req, res) => {
  const allEntries = await  dailyUsage.find();

  const {name} = req.body;
  console.log(name);

  // ...
}

I want ̀name` to contain the username entered from the form, but without using bodyparser or middleware. thank you

CodePudding user response：

Since your form is using GET method, you won't find name in req.body, but in req.query:

const {name} = req.query;
