passing data in jQuery get method

Question

I am trying to pass in some data as parameters in jquery method but it seems to be not working.

  $.get('/quizes', { name: "John", time: "2pm" }, function (data) {
    console.log(data)
    renderQuiz(data)
  });

However, on my express route, when I am looking for the data in req.body, it is showing undefined. What am I missing?

There is no body for a Get. The params are serialized into url query string path/to/server?name=John&time=2pm. If you want to keep same body code switch to POST — charlietfl

Those parameters are not in req.body they are in req.query.
