ExpressJS

Notes:

• In a URL, everything after the question mark (?) is considered the query string. a) /api/movies/search?q=star wars

  • Query parameter: q=star wars
  • In Express: req.query.q would be “star wars”

  b) /api/movies/search?title=inception&year=2010

  • Two query parameters: title=inception and year=2010
  • In Express:
    • req.query.title would be “inception”
    • req.query.year would be “2010”

  c) /api/movies/search?=matrix (your original case)

  • Unnamed parameter with value “matrix”
  • In Express: req.query[''] would be “matrix”

  d) /api/movies/search?genre=action&sort=year&order=desc

  • Three parameters: genre, sort, and order
  • In Express:
    • req.query.genre would be “action”
    • req.query.sort would be “year”
    • req.query.order would be “desc”
