You can get using the traditional Express way like "/myroute/id/:number" and also like this "myroute?id=:number"

First: change the route code if your route seems like this:

app.get('/user/:id', user.list);

to

app.get('/user/', user.list);

Inside your users.js change the behavior to get the params...

exports.list = function(req, res){
    var id = req.query.id;
    console.log("ID: " + id);
};

The secret to get the params as you want is "query" in req.query.id.
