Retrieve the GET query string parameters using Express - node.js

Question

I seem to have troubles on getting the query string parameter on my Postman.
First, I wanted to get all of the game types API by using the url of:
localhost:3000/api/gameType/dota2
Here is the code below:
const router = require('express').Router();
const GameTypeRepository = require('../../repository/GameTypeRepository');
router.get('/', async (req, res) => {
try {
const game_types = await GameTypeRepository.findByName(req.query.name);
res.json(game_types);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
res.sendStatus(500);
}
});
GameTypeRepository.js
const BaseRepository = require('../../../shared/repository/BaseRepository');
const GameType = require('../models/GameType');
class GameTypeRepository extends BaseRepository {
constructor(model) {
super(model);
}
findByName(name, fields) {
const options = {
where: { name }
};
if (!!fields && fields) {
options.attributes = fields;
}
return this.model.findOne(options);
}
}
module.exports = new GameTypeRepository(GameType);
But when I execute the url to my Postman, I get this log on my terminal that says:
Executing (default): SELECT `id`, `name`, `description` FROM `game_types` AS `game_types` WHERE `game_types`.`id` = 'dota2';
Which should be 'name' = 'dota2'
Any ideas on how to work with this? TYIA.

I have solved this problem by adding /type in my router.get('/type/:name,
router.get('/type/:name', async (req, res) => {
try {
const game_types = await GameTypeRepository.findByName(req.params.name);
res.json(game_types);
} catch (error) {
res.sendStatus(404);
}
});
