I can not retrieve route parameters with a simple express.Router() in an web app.
Here is a minimal example:
var http = require('http');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.use('/hello/:world', express.Router()
.get('/', function (req, res) {
console.log("hello : ", req.params); //
res.status(200).send({status: 'success', params: req.params});
}));
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.set('port', port);
var server = http.createServer(app);
server.listen(port);
I don't get any error, the res.params
is simply empty when I try to reach:
http://localhost:3000/hello/100 for example.
Here is the response:
{
"status": "success",
"params": {}
}
What I have tried so far is to set express.Router({ params: 'inherit' })
as told here: https://github.com/expressjs/express/issues/2151#issuecomment-44716623 but it doesn't change anything.
And here is the manual: http://expressjs.com/en/guide/routing.html
