Cannot get params from context

It seems that get method does not handle the parameter from the url if I write that route router.get('/book/:id', (context) => { // route action }) nothing is happening. I removed the ‘/:id’ part of the string and that seems to be the issue here … but how to indicate parameters if not that way ?

Hi @Waxoussou 😄

Your error handler middleware should be placed after declaring the routes. The error will happen in one of the routes and then it will be passed to the handler.

Also, I tested your routes and they seem to be working correctly.

I think that you passing a query param instead of a route param

I’ve tried to send request with curl : ~ curl -X GET http://localhost:5050/api/v1/products/?id=1

Instead of /products/?id=1 it should be /products/1

thanks so much @LauraBeatris !!! indeed , I was passing query params instead ! damn’ … Btw, would you know how to handle query param with oak though ?

About my error handler, it was working well even declared before the routes … I did get errors each time i got one… How can it be ?

Btw, would you know how to handle query param with oak though

ctx.request.url.searchParams.get("id");

I can see that is getting a bit cumbersome though, and some users would expect to be able to have the params and these “merged”. I want to avoid creating aliases and the like, but I think a helper function that would return the searchParams as a single object optionally merged with the parsed out params would be a good idea… something that would work like this:

const query = queryParams(ctx, { mergeParams: true });
