Using GET with Node.js

Question

I want to use GET, to get the value of a variable, inside a node.js page I made, as I would normally do (with $_GET) using PHP.

Here is how it looks:

http://mygreatpage.herokuapp.com/myThing?X=57

The question is:

How do I get the value of X (57 in the example above) inside my index.js file?

Show us the code for your node.js server. Are you using Express or a plain http server? — jfriend00, Dec 13 '16 at 05:30
OK, then I need to dig into that. But that seems incredibly complicated when in PHP I only need to write $x=$_GET['X']; to obtain what I need. — Michel, Dec 13 '16 at 05:41
To jfriend100. I have no code to show since I don't know what to write. In PHP it would be: $x=$_GET['X']; — Michel, Dec 13 '16 at 05:43
I have an index.js file working. And inside it, I want to catch the value of the parameter X. That's all. — Michel, Dec 13 '16 at 05:45

var app = require('express')();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
app.get('/myThing',function(req,res)
console.log(req.query.X);
    res.send(req.query.X);
}
      );
app.listen(3000);
console.log("server start");

check this for more detail
