Difference between req params req body and req query in Nodejs

Hello guys,

In this small article, I am going to show you the Difference between req params req body and req query in Nodejs

How req.params works

req.params get the data from the segment of the url where the route name starts with " : ". For eg: https://localhost:8081/movie/:movieid becomes https://localhost:8081/movie/5896544

Now the required code to get the value of req.params.movieid is 5896544

So,

req.params.movieid = 5896544

How req.body works?

req.body properties come from a form post or body section where the form data has been parsed into properties.

How req.query works?

req.query comes from query parameters in the URL such as https://localhost:8081/movie?name=boss where req.query.name === "boss".

Hope you are now clear between the key difference between request-params, request-body and request-query.
