What function arguments are available to Express.js route handlers?
The arguments available to an Express.js route handler function are:
-
req- the request object -
res- the response object -
next(optional) - a function to pass control to one of the subsequent route handlers
The third argument may be omitted, but is useful in cases where you have a chain of handlers and you would like to pass control to one of the subsequent route handlers, and skip the current one.
There is more to interviewing than tricky technical questions, so these are intended merely as a guide. Not every “A” candidate worth hiring will be able to answer them all, nor does answering them all guarantee an “A” candidate. At the end of the day, hiring remains an art, a science — and a lot of work.
