Serverless node.js helpers not working

[jlrodvPF]

Summary

Im creating a serverless function and Im trying to use the query helper function but if I try to print request.query it prints undefined and I can see "Property 'query' does not exist on type 'Request'."

My function looks like this:

export async function GET(request: Request) { console.log(request. query) }

and already ran npm install @vercel/node --save-dev

am I missing an import or something like that?

Example

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1.- Create a serverless function with node.
2.- Try to print request.query
3.- It prints undefined

The query property indeed doesn't exist on the Request object: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request

I'm assuming you want to access the query parameters of the request. You can do so by accessing the url property, constructing a new URL object and accessing the searchParams property:

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const url = new URL(request.url)
  const query = url.searchParams
  // query is a URLSearchParams object: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams
}

Understand that but I expected to find the .query from Vercel helpers https://vercel.com/blog/vercel-node-helpers

Helpers are made to work on the syntax for Serverless Functions, which is:

module.exports = (request, response) => {
  ...
}

The new syntax is:

export async function GET(request) {
   ...
}

You can still use both but we recommend the latter.

Oh ok understood, maybe docs need to be updated because I see the new syntax in the quick start https://vercel.com/docs/functions/quickstart and when moving to node.js section https://vercel.com/docs/functions/runtimes/node-js there's no mention about the new and old syntax and doesn't mention that the helpers only work in the old syntax . Anyways thanks for your help!
