How to get path variable in express(node.js)
I think you are wrong with your route, you can't route to /user/:userId/group and post to / that doesn't make sense. I mean to get userIdparam, you should post to /user/:userId/group:
Route file route.js:
var ctrl = require('controller.js');app.route('/user/:userId/group').post(ctrl.doIt);Controller file controller.js:
exports.doIt = function(req, res, next) { var group = new Group(req.body); console.log(req.params); group.userId = req.params.userId; group.save(new dataCallbacks(req, res, next, "Group").insert());});
