angularJS http GET parameter gets undefined on server

Question

I have this chunk of code in my controller.js file

$http({
    method: 'GET',
    url: '/getGuestList',
    params: {exhibitorID: 1}
})

Basically, it's supposed to get all the guests of a certain exhibitor whose exhibitor ID is 1.

On the server side, I have tried logging req.body.params and req.body.exhibitorID but both of them are undefined. I'm just getting familiar with angularjs and I don't know what I'm missing.

Your help will be very much appreciated.

It would be helpful to know which server technology stack you are using. You may also need to edit your post to include code from the server. — Adam Zuckerman

params are req.params, they are not in req.body

yes, i get your point. However, req.params.exhibitorID is still undefined. :(

are you using express? if yes then how your define your routes

moja Over a year ago

this is how I routed it from my app.js: app.get('/getGuestList', routes.getGuestList);

wayne Over a year ago

you are not using name route, that's why you need to use req.query
