How to parse variables in querystring using Express?

Question

I have a request being sent to the server:

"/stuff?a=a&b=b&c=c" 

Using express, how do I get these values?

I have tried the following...

app.get( "/stuff?:a&:b&:c", function( req, res ){}); 

...however it does not seem to recognize the route.

Thanks (in advance) for your help.

It's not a good idea to use a query string inside a route.

In Express logic you need create a route for "/stuff". The query string will be available in req.query.
