expressjsHow do I get the full URL using Express.js?

To get the full URL using Express.js, you can use the req.protocol, req.get('host') and req.originalUrl properties.

Example code

const fullUrl = req.protocol + '://' + req.get('host') + req.originalUrl;
console.log(fullUrl);

Output example

https://example.com/users/1

The code above uses the following properties:

• req.protocol - the request protocol, usually either http or https
• req.get('host') - the hostname of the request
• req.originalUrl - the original request URL
