# route-params-must-be-defined - ESLint plugin rules

This rule requires properties accessed on `req.params` in an API route handler to correspond to a `[param]` folder in the route path.

## Severity

`error`. This rule is enabled in the [recommended](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/lint#recommended) preset.

## What it Targets

This rule targets `route.ts` and `route.js` files in your project's `src/api` directory. It reports access to a `req.params` property that has no matching `[param]` folder in the route path.

The following code is reported by the rule, since the route has no `foo` parameter:

```ts title="src/api/admin/products/[id]/route.ts"
export const GET = (req, res) => {
  const x = req.params.foo
}
```

Instead, access a parameter defined by a `[param]` folder:

```ts title="src/api/admin/products/[id]/route.ts"
export const GET = (req, res) => {
  const x = req.params.id
}
```

## Why it's Important

A route parameter is only available on `req.params` when a `[param]` folder defines it in the route path. Accessing an undefined parameter returns `undefined`, which often points to a typo or a missing folder.

Learn more in the [Route Parameters documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/fundamentals/api-routes/parameters).

## Fixable

This rule isn't auto-fixable.
