Question

What am I doing wrong in my code here since I can’t get the ‘qkey’ value?

If I test ‘/search/firstname/daniel’ in my browser, my response is: {“qkey”:”daniel”}

app.get('/search/:qkey/:qvalue', function(req, res){
    var qkey = req.params.qkey;
    var qvalue = req.params.qvalue;
    var query = {qkey:qvalue}
    console.log(query);
    res.send(query);
});

The problem is the way you create query object. You can’t assign a dynamic value to a property name using curly bracket syntax. What you should do instead is;

var query = {};
query[qkey] = qvalue;
