Node.js Express regex in app.get()

Question

There is some code:

app.get(/^\/test\?sid$/, function (req, res) {
    console.log('sid: ', req.params[0]);
    res.sendfile(__dirname + '/public/login/index.html');
});

output:

Cannot GET /test?sid

Answer 1

Express's router matches against the pathname only, not the whole URL including the query string.

Since there's no capturing group in your regex, req.params isn't going to be set.
