How to get search params in custom routes

[slimes28]

Hello,
Is this the only option to get search params in custom router or there is a better way?

Hi @slimes28
The following seems to be the simplest way to collect search params, the Bolt framework is tailored to interact with the Slack API which rarely uses these parameters

let urlParams: URLSearchParams = new URLSearchParams();
const params = req.url.split("?");
if (params.length > 1) {
  urlParams = new URLSearchParams(params[1]);
}

🤔 Wondering if we might want to treat this as a possible enhancement such that these params can be accessed from the request object?

https://localhost:3000/greetings?name=you

const app = new App({
  token: process.env.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
  signingSecret: process.env.SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET,
  customRoutes: [
    {
      path: '/greetings',
      method: ['GET'],
      handler: (req, res) => {
        res.writeHead(200);
        res.end(`Hello ${req.query.name}!`);  // Hello you!
      },
    },
  ],
});
