How to get the value on url in pug

I have an url like this: http://localhost/editblog/58a5da1df3ec9614fc9893d3

and code in pug like this:

 input.form-control(type='hidden', name='id', value='')

The question is how to get the value on the url and pass it to value=''

I've known about req.params.id but it is not what could solve my issue

When you render your pug template you could send any variable as res.locals property so it will send to template:

app.get('/editblog/:id', function(req, res) {
  res.render('editblog', { title: 'edit blog', id: req.params.id });
});

And now you have access to id whithin your template:

editblog.pug:

input.form-control(type='hidden', name='id', value=id)
