How do I get the name of a clicked <a> link in node.js?

I have some links on my website. Each of the links has a name. I need to get the name of the link when I click on it to use it in node. How can I get the name (or any other property) of the clicked link for using it in my node.js?

The name attribute is obsolete and shouldn't be used anyway. It was used to define a place to link to . The introduction of HTML 4 in 1998 replaced name on a elements with id on any element.
That said, clicks happen in the browser. Node.js, generally, is used for server-side programming. You can't tell what user is clicking on in the browser unless you change browser-side code to pass that information to the server.
Possibly what you should be doing is putting the data in the query string of the URL:
href="/goodsPage?something=shoes"
And then you can read it from the URL on the server.
If you were using Express.js then that would be a simple matter of reading the query property from the request object.
But with that pattern, it looks like putting the information in the path would be better:
href="/goodsPage/shoes"
Express.js would then let you read it from the route :
app.get('/goodsPage/:something', function (req, res) {
console.log(req.params.something);
res.send(...)
})
