Unable to access query string parameters in a post request using express

Question

I am trying to get query parameters through a POST request and it doesn't seem to receive them.

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

app.post('/pubs/:id/submit', function (req, res, next) {

    console.log("query: " + JSON.stringify(req.query)) //prints {}

I have tried sending the request through Postman and curl and the request is properly formed.

What version of Express are you using? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5710358/how-to-retrieve-post-query-parameters-in-express — ztech, Sep 08 '16 at 17:32

Use body-parser to parse the body.

var bodyParser=require('body-parser');

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
    extended: false
}));

Example#1 by parameters

POST http://localhost:3000/hello/id/123/access_token/1234556ccc/name/hola

console.log(JSON.stringify(req.params))

POST http://localhost:3000/hello?text=abc&access_token=1234556ccc&name=hola

`console.log(JSON.stringify(req.query))`

That only prints out query: {"id":"21421123"} – bezzoon Sep 08 '16 at 17:18
As I see in your post you just passed `id` – abdulbarik Sep 08 '16 at 17:20
I submit the full url with ?accessToken=fet – bezzoon Sep 08 '16 at 17:21
I just updated answer in both ways. Please have a look – abdulbarik Sep 08 '16 at 17:48
