Good afternoon community, I would like to know in version 4.0 of the framwork how I retrieve the request parameters. in version 3 getParam = request-\> getParam (‘nameParam’) was used, but I have not been able to identify how it is used in version 4. I greatly appreciate what you can support me.

Happy day

Hi @masebas921120

You should find this information it in the [Slim 4 documentation](http://www.slimframework.com/docs/v4/objects/request.html).

Option 1: Use the PSR-7 request object, e.g. `$request->getQueryParams()` or `$request->getParsedBody()`  
Option 2: Use the PSR-7 compatible request object [slim/http](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Http#serverrequestgetparsedbodyparamkey-default), e.g. `$request->getParam('my-param')` or `$request->getParsedBodyParam('key')`
