Node.js: read parameters passed in url

Question

In rails, I make a POST request to my server:

response = Typhoeus::Request.post("http://url.localtunnel.com/request?from=ola&to=ole") result = JSON.parse(response.body) 

In the Node.js app, I want to read From and To :

 app.post '/request', (req,res) -> console.log "I have received a request, sweet!!" sys.log req.params.from #sys.log "From: " + req.from + ", To: " + req.to + ", Id: " + req.id 

How can I do it?

thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

 Checks query string params (req.query), ex: ?id=12 

Answer 2

Something like that:

 var http = require('http'), url = require('url'); http.createServer(function(request, response) { response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type":"text/plain"}); var _url = url.parse(request.url, true); response.write("Hello " + _url.query["from"] + "!\n"); // etc: _url.query["to"]... response.close(); }).listen(8000); 

url.parse is the key point ... Or you can use querystring.parse(urlString)
