    Run :-

    File Name :

    c:\mynode_project> node myapp.js

    Test On browser

    File Name :

    in URL :- http://localhost:3000

    URL Module :-

    we can get URL parameters in Node.js by importing the url module.

    The get() method of URLSearchParams object gets the value of the given url parameter.

    File Name :

    const url = require('url');

    // new URL object
    const current_url = new URL('http://ittutorial.in/controller/method?id=07&name=sana');

    // get access to URLSearchParams object
    const params = current_url.searchParams;

    // get url parameters
    const id = params.get('id');
    const name = params.get('name');
    console.log(id);
    console.log(name);

    Getting Values of Multi-Valued Parameters

    The getAll() method of URLSearchParams object returns an array of values of the given parameter.

    File Name :

    const url = require('url');

    const current_url = new URL('http://ittutorial.in/controller/method?id=07&name=sana');
    const search_params = current_url.searchParams;

    const params = search_params.getAll('tags');
    // [ "07", "sana" ]
    console.log(params );

    Checking If Parameter Present or not :-

    The has() method checks given parameter exists in the url.

    File Name :

    const url = require('url');

    const current_url = new URL('http://ittutorial.in/controller/method?id=07&name=sana');
    const search_params = current_url.searchParams;

    // true
    if(search_params.has('id')) {
    //
    }

    // false
    if(search_params.has('type')) {
    //
    }

    req.query

    File Name :

    var id = req.query.id; // $_GET["id"]

    ######################## OR ###################### var url = require('url');
    var params = url.parse(request.url, true);
    var query = params.query;

    File Name :

    app.get('/user/:id', function(req, res) {
    res.send('user' + req.params.id);
    });
