expressjsHow do I get the URL in Express.js?

Getting the URL in Express.js is a straightforward process. To do so, you can use the request object that is passed to each route handler.

The request object has a url property that contains the requested URL. The following example demonstrates how to get the URL in Express.js.

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  const url = req.url;
  console.log(url);
  res.send('Hello World');
});

The output of the above code block would be the requested URL.

The code consists of:

• app.get: This is the Express.js method to create a route handler for a GET request.
• req.url: This is the request object's url property that contains the requested URL.
• console.log: This is used to log the requested URL to the console.
• res.send: This is used to send a response back to the client.
