Express: Query parameter with dot in its name not showing up inside req.query

[dmaks9]

I am using the latest version of express.
Other query parameters are there, but the ones with dot are not.
Here is the part of 'req' object:

baseUrl: '/api/v1/bootcamps',
originalUrl: '/api/v1/bootcamps?housing=true&averageCost[lte]=10000&careers[in]=Business&location.city=MA',
_parsedUrl: Url {
    protocol: null,
    slashes: null,
    auth: null,
    host: null,
    port: null,
    hostname: null,
    hash: null,
    search: '?housing=true&averageCost[lte]=10000&careers[in]=Business&location.city=MA',
    query: 'housing=true&averageCost[lte]=10000&careers[in]=Business&location.city=MA',
    pathname: '/',
    path: '/?housing=true&averageCost[lte]=10000&careers[in]=Business&location.city=MA',
    href: '/?housing=true&averageCost[lte]=10000&careers[in]=Business&location.city=MA',
    _raw: '/?housing=true&averageCost[lte]=10000&careers[in]=Business&location.city=MA'
},
params: {},
query: {
    housing: 'true',
    averageCost: { lte: '10000' },
    careers: { in: 'Business' }
}

Hey there! I'm not currently able to reproduce this issue using the following server code using express v4.17.1

const express = require("express");

const app = express();

app.get("/test", (req, res) => {
  console.log(req.query);
  res.json({ ok: true, query: req.query });
});

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server listening on port ${PORT}`));

Here is a codesandbox with the example running.

Hello to you too!

The problem was caused by 'express-mongo-sanitize' that I added as a piece of express middleware.
Once it was removed, everything worked fine. My fault, sorry.

Thanks anyway.
