How would I create an individual get route as opposed to returning all todos?

The get route retrieves all results, how would I go about being able to retrieve a singular result route, using the id of the todo etc, for the purposes of viewing more information for example?

To get a todo by passing an id in the url

app.get('/todos/:id', function (req, res) {
    var id = req.params.id;

        Todos.findById(id, function(err, data) {
            // do whatever you want with the single todo
        });
});
