Get a value of a received JSON by ajax in nodejs

I'm using jquery to get a date and send it by ajax to a nodejs server. I'm getting the e.date by a daterangepicker.

            var minFecha = new Date(e.date);
            var data = {};
            data.min = minFecha;
            $.ajax({
                type: 'GET',
               data: JSON.stringify(data),
                contentType: 'application/json',
                url: '/dat/',                       
                success: function(data) {
                    console.log('success   '+data);
                   // console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
                }
            });

And i have this in server.js

app.get("/dat/", function(req, res){
  console.log("data received  " + JSON.stringify(req.query));
});

In the console I get this : data received {"{\"min\":\"2018-01-09T23:00:00.000Z\"}":""}

Now I need to get the date "2018-01-09T23:00:00.000Z" in a var. I was using JSON.parse and req.query['min']: var obj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(req.query)); console.log("TEST "+obj['min']); But this way doesn't work, it returns undefined. Any solution?

There is no need to use stringify, just pass your data to data property in the ajax object and it should work:

client

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    data: data,
    contentType: 'application/json',
    url: '/dat',                       
    success: function(data) {
        console.log('success   '+data);
        // console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
    }
});

Server

app.get("/dat", function(req, res){
    console.log("data received  " + req.query.min);
});
