How To Target Express Route Parameters

Just a quick reminder that in Express, grabbing information from the route URL is possible through this:

Given the URL:

https://myexample.com/base/targetInformation

In app.js, or whatever file routing is handled in, setting a :target with the correct pattern matching should allow you to get targetInformation

app.get("/base/:target", function(req, res) {
console.log(req.params.target); #prints "targetInformation"
});

In the callback function, req contains params that includes :target, which you can call by using the same name, just without the colon, target.
