Why does undefined get added to the URL path in Node js

Why does "undefined" get added to the URL path in Node.js?

I'm facing an issue in my Node.js application where "undefined" gets appended to the URL path, like /undefined/resource. This seems to happen when constructing URLs dynamically or passing parameters, but I’m not sure what’s causing it. Has anyone encountered this before?

It usually indicates an issue in the code where a variable or a parameter is being used without a proper value assigned to it. Let's check some the the reasons why it is added:

1. Uninitialized Variables: If a variable that is expected to have a value is not set or initialized properly, it might result in "undefined" being appended to the URL.

2. Incorrect Route Handling: In web applications, routes often include dynamic segments (e.g., `/user/:id`). If the `id` parameter is not provided or is incorrectly accessed, "undefined" can appear as part of the URL.

3. Query Parameters or Path Variables: If query parameters or path variables are extracted and used improperly, they can lead to "undefined" values being part of the URL.

4. String Concatenation Issues: If you are building a URL string by concatenating parts, ensure that all variables used in the concatenation have valid values. Otherwise, "undefined" might be appended if any part is missing or not set.

To resolve this issue, carefully check the code where URLs are constructed or manipulated. Make sure all variables involved are properly set and initialized before they are used, and verify that all route parameters are correctly referenced and provided.
