How get all parameters in express.js (post/get/etc.)

Question

Is there a way to get in once all parameters sent using express.js? I know how do it to know the GET/POST separately, but is there a way to get everything at once?

I didn't found anything about that so far, it's useful to debug in particular.

Of course the req.param(key) works, but I want to have a list of all parameters, not have to retrieve them, just see them.

Edit: Add Route info:

consoleDev('Url: ' + req.method + ' ' + req.baseUrl + req._parsedUrl.href, 'debug');
consoleDev('Options: ' + JSON.stringify(options), 'debug');
consoleDev('Params: ' + Object.keys(req.params), 'debug');
consoleDev('Params: ' + (req.param('test')), 'debug');

Console:

debug: Url: GET http://localhost:5000/?test=5000
debug: Options: {"controllerName":"home","methodName":"index"}
debug: Params: 
debug: Params: 5000

change your route to `app.all('routename'...` – Jake Sellers Feb 18 '14 at 20:40 — Jake Sellers, Feb 18 '14 at 20:40

I forgot I created this topic few months ago and created another one where I got the answer to the question:

You're looking for req.body, which contains the parsed POST body. (assuming you have middleware that parses it)

See express.bodyParser()

If you just want to view the values passed you can just do

console.dir(req.params);

Or you can get the list of keys by using something like this:

keys = Object.keys(req.params);
console.log(keys);

`req.param` is a function. `req.params` is an array, but always empty when I send GET/POST params. – Vadorequest Feb 18 '14 at 22:05
My bad. I've just edited my answer to reflect req.params as I originally intended. If the values are empty on POST you might be missing app.use(express.bodyParser()); in your code. But it is rather strange that they are also empty on GET. Could you include your route in your question? – Hector Correa Feb 18 '14 at 22:12
Done. What do you think? It just doesn't find the keys but when I call them explicitely it does. – Vadorequest Feb 19 '14 at 07:03
req.params will include values in the URL stem. It will catch "test" if your route was app.get("/:test",whatever). To read the query string values you could use req.query. I suspect req.param() is smart enough to parse both (req.params and req.query) – Hector Correa Feb 19 '14 at 14:00
Ok, but it's not what I'm looking for. But I guess there is nothing such as I want in express. And yes, req.param is able to provide query, route and post/etc. – Vadorequest Feb 19 '14 at 15:50

You can use, for query parameters: Object.keys(contexto.req.query);
