In react-router v3 I could access it with props.location.query.foo (if the current location was ?foo=bar)
In [email protected] props.location only has props.location.search with is a string like ?foo=bar&other=thing.
Perhaps I need to manually parse and deconstruct that string to find the value for foo or other.
Screenshot of console.log(this.props):
(Note how from ?artist=band here I'd like to get the value from artist which is the value band)
Looks like you already assumed correct. The ability to parse query strings was taken out of V4 because there have been requests over the years to support different implementation. With that, the team decided it would be best for users to decide what that implementation looks like. We recommend importing a query string lib. The one you mentioned has worked great for me so far.
const queryString = require('query-string');
const parsed = queryString.parse(props.location.search);
You can also use new URLSearchParams if you want something native and it works for your needs
const search = props.location.search; // could be '?foo=bar'
const params = new URLSearchParams(search);
const foo = params.get('foo'); // bar
You can read more about the decision here
I proffer my little ES6 shape function, awesome, light weight and useful:
getQueryStringParams = query => {
return query
? (/^[?#]/.test(query) ? query.slice(1) : query)
.split('&')
.reduce((params, param) => {
let [key, value] = param.split('=');
params[key] = value ? decodeURIComponent(value.replace(/\+/g, ' ')) : '';
return params;
}, {}
)
: {}
};
Every thing is here, hope to help you.
You may get the following error while creating an optimized production build when using query-string module.
Failed to minify the code from this file: ./node_modules/query-string/index.js:8
To overcome this, kindly use the alternative module called stringquery which does the same process well without any issues while running the build.
import querySearch from "stringquery";
var query = querySearch(this.props.location.search);
Thank you.
query-string. You can install it by either doing yarn add query-string@5 or npm install query-string@5Using third party package is overkill for a simple problem:
componentDidMount() {
const query = new URLSearchParams(
this.props.location.search
);
let data = {};
for (let params of query.entries()) {
data[params[0]] = +params[1];
}
this.setState({ urldata: data});
}
This will simply convert the URL query parameters into an object.
Glad I found this post. Thanks for the links, after a couple of hours I finally got my code upgraded.
For those of you using query-string, you might have to do something like
var nameYouWant = queryString.parse(this.props.location.search).nameYouWant;
This happened in my case, and this.props.location.search.theUrlYouWant would refuse to work. The second option Tyler mentioned also worked for me with some similar tweaking.
instead of installing a package you can use a simple function for extracting your query params.
//Param Extractor
const parseParams = (params = "") => {
const rawParams = params.replace("?", "").split("&");
const extractedParams = {};
rawParams.forEach((item) => {
item = item.split("=");
extractedParams[item[0]] = item[1];
});
return extractedParams;
};
//Usage
const params = parseParams(this.props?.location?.search); // returns an object like:
// {id:1,name:john...}
I'm surprised no one has mentioned UrlSearchParams and the .get method.
Late answer for case of getting query string with react routers useLocation:
import useLocation from 'react-router';
import queryString from 'query-string';
const handleQueryString = useLocation().search;
// nice=day&very=sunny
// Get a param
const { nice } = queryString.parse(useLocation().search)
"query-string": "^8.1.0" this doesn't work: Attempted import error: 'queryString' is not exported from 'query-string'.In addition to the answer already provided here, you can make it into a hook:
import { useSearchParams } from 'react-router-dom';
const useParsedSearchParams = () => {
const [searchParams] = useSearchParams();
return Object.fromEntries([...searchParams]);
};
export default useParsedSearchParams;
use useSearchParams instead of location.search in react-router-v6
import { useSearchParams } from 'react-router-dom';
const Chat = ({location}) => {
const [searchParams] = useSearchParams();
// pass searchParams as a dependency into the useEffect
useEffect(()=>{
const currentParams = Object.fromEntries([...searchParams])
console.log(currentParams);
},[searchParams])
