- Where the Data Comes From: It’s from the extra bits attached to the end of a URL, like when you fill out a form or put something in the search bar.
- When to Use It: Great for handling info from URLs, especially when things like search terms are involved.
Example: using req.query:
Javascript
app.get('/search', (req, res) => {const searchTerm = req.query.query;// Do something with the search term}); |
