expressjsHow can I use Express.js to create a query?


Express.js is a web application framework for Node.js that allows you to create a query. To do this, you need to set up a route and a function to handle the query.

For example, this code block will create a query route that will return the value of queryParam when a GET request is sent to /query:

// Setup the query route
app.get('/query', (req, res) => {
  // Get the query parameter
  const queryParam = req.query.param;
  // Send the response
  res.send(queryParam);
});

When a GET request is sent to /query?param=hello, the response will be hello.

The code block above consists of the following parts:

  1. app.get('/query', (req, res) => { - This sets up the query route. It specifies that when a GET request is sent to /query, the following function will be called.
  2. const queryParam = req.query.param; - This gets the query parameter (param) from the request.
  3. res.send(queryParam); - This sends the response. In this case, it's the value of queryParam.

For more information on Express.js, see the documentation.
