You would like users to be able to access a URL like the following, right?

http://example.com/events/chicago-the-musical

To accomplish this, you'll need a column in your database table that contains 
e.g. for this record the string "chicago-the-musical". I've heard this type of 
value referred to as a "slug" so I'll call it that.

Your route will be something like:


app.get("/events/:slug", function(res, res) { ... });


In the "..." code, "chicago-the-musical" will be available to you in 
req.params.slug. You can query your database for that to get the relevant 
record.
