How to create REST URLs in Mean stack?

Question

I have create a mean stack app. In this app when we search something I am parsing a parameters to the back-end from the front end which has been created using angular 2.

router.get('/search/:search', (req, res) => {

In this the value is the search keyword.

This is not the REST URL format right?

How do I make it look like a rest URL? Something like this?

/cars?color=blue&type=sedan&doors

req.query

Contains all of the values passed to the GET request.

For your example it would look like this:

router.get('/cars', (req, res) => {
    req.query.color // = blue
    req.query.type // = sedan
    req.query.doors // = undefined bec there is no value
}
