## What is difference between req.query & req.params in mongoose controllers?

.params only get the route parameters while .query gets query strings passed.

### .query

GET localhost:3000/contact/contactId/?contactId=_(Id)_

crmRoutes.js

```

app.route("/contact/contactId")

.get(getContactById)

```

crmControllers.js

```

export const getContactById = (req, res) => {

    const Id = req.query.contactId

    console.log(Id)

    const name = req.query.fname

    Contact.findById(Id).then(contact => res.json(contact)).catch(err => (console.log(err)));

}

```

### .params

GET localhost:3000/contact/_(Id)_

crmRoutes.js

```

  app.route("/contact/:contactId")

```

crmControllers.js

```

export const getContactById = (req, res) => {

    const Id = req.params.contactId

    console.log(Id)

    Contact.findById(Id).then(contact => res.json(contact)).catch(err => (console.log(err)));

}

```
