Multiple inputs through URL in Node JS

Question

I am trying to read multiple inputs from URL (may vary with every request) in NODEJS.

For eg: www.blahblah.com/api/abc/xyz/pop/god/ is requested,

I want to take 'abc','xyz','pop','god' and process each individually. the script i am passing it to, takes the input and passes it to a perl script to get the output.

I am using AngularJS and NodeJS.

any suggetions.

What do you mean by multiple inputs? Can you try to elaborate your question and the context of use? Do you mean to read req.params? — Sreehari, Sep 12 '18 at 09:19
Please be more specific and a bit elaborate. If all you want to do is just use the parts of the URL, you might just use a `substring` method. — Harshith Rai, Sep 12 '18 at 09:20

I'll say. Make the ajax call with Json Data

$.ajax({
  type : "POST",
  url : "/yourServiceUrl",
  data :{
    data1 : data1Val,
    data2: data2Val,
    .
    .
    .
    datan: datanVal
  }
}).done((result)=>{});

Fetch the data in backed using

let data1 = req.body.data1;
let data2 = req.body.data2;
.
.
.
.
let datan = req.body.datan;

Regular expressions may also be used, and can be useful if you have very specific restraints, for example the following would match "GET /commits/71dbb9c" as well as "GET /commits/71dbb9c..4c084f9".

app.get(/^\/commits\/(\w+)(?:\.\.(\w+))?$/, function(req, res){
  var from = req.params[0];
  var to = req.params[1] || 'HEAD';
  res.send('commit range ' + from + '..' + to);
});

This should solve your problem :)
