So I know that there are different node packages that I could use like request and like even the standard HTTP and HTTPS ones but I do not see how I can pass in route parameters within my requests like I can with Postman.
I got this so far but I do not know where to put my route parameters.
I'm not sure that I got your question right. You know that there are packages but you do not want to use them?
anyway, here there is a similar question that you might find useful (if I got your problem right ) node.js http set request parameters
to send the request parameters you can choose to put them in your path by doing:
const options = {
hostname: "localhost",
port: 3000,
method: "POST",
path:"/add?yourParameter=yourParameterValue",
headers: {}
}
but it is hard coded, so it is not a good way to do it.. You can also think of string literal, here the documentation https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/01/ES6-Template-Strings
You should pass in your parameter by including it in your path.
//define your route params as string here
const routeParam = ''
const options = {
/////// your properties
path: /add/${routeParam}
}
And all route params are passed as string variable. So please make sure parsing it from the server side in case your route param is int.
parseInt(passedParam);
