I'm trying to set query parameter with a default page number. What I want is if a request comes to this route without having query param "page" then Joi should set its default value in

req.query.page = 1

But currently I'm not getting this default value in the

req.query.page

router.get(
  "/likes",
  validate({
    query: Joi.object({ page: Joi.number().default(1) }),
  }),
  async function (req, res, next) {
    const page = parseInt(req.query.page);
    try {
      some code here
    } catch (error) {
      next(error);
    }
  }
);
