I'm trying to send get method request and want to pass value in URL.

Like my api look like 

app.get('/api/getlocation/:customerName', customer.getlocation);

For call this I wrote in postman 

localhost:8080/api/getlocation/:customerName=kumbhani

For test 

var customerName = req.params.customerName;
console.log('name', customerName); // =kumbhani

It returns name with = sign - I want only kumbhani

The colon character in the path in Express has a special meaning: whatever you put in the URL after getLocation/ will be put in req.params.customerName.

This means in Postman, you should actually call this URL:

localhost:8080/api/getlocation/kumbhani
