GET request body parameters undefined

Question

I'm trying to retrieve the parameters of a GET request as follows but anything I try logs out as 'undefined':

GET

// Find a list of Players
$scope.find = function() {
    $scope.players = Players.query({limit: 50});
};

Middleware

//Players service
angular.module('players').factory('Players', ['$resource',
function($resource) {
    return $resource('players/:playerId', { playerId: '@_id'
    }, {
        update: {
            method: 'PUT'
        }
    });
}
]);

End Point

exports.list = function(req, res) { 

Player.find().sort('-created').limit(req.body.limit).populate('user', 'displayName').exec(function(err, players) {
    if (err) {
        return res.status(400).send({
            message: errorHandler.getErrorMessage(err)
        });
    } else {
        res.jsonp(players);
    }
});
};

So change `Players.query` to `Players.save`? This would result in `POST` correct? — Matt D. Webb, Jul 27 '15 at 07:07
Wahoo... `req.query.limit` is what I need. This [answered](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23548929/getting-req-param-undefined) my question after investigating your response @BlakesSeven thank you — Matt D. Webb, Jul 27 '15 at 07:19

A good discussion on GET with message body - Is this statement correct? HTTP GET method always has no message body

In short, the behavior of servers when using message body with GET would probably not be consistent.

As my request is a GET I need to attain the parameters (within the query string) using .query:

Player.find().sort('-created').limit(req.query.limit).populate('user', 'displayName').exec(function(err, players) {
    if (err) {
        return res.status(400).send({
            message: errorHandler.getErrorMessage(err)
        });
    } else {
        res.jsonp(players);
    }
  });
};
