Route Query

Next Route Query is a utility library for handling URL query parameters in NextJS applications. It supports NextJS 13 or higher. It preserves types of string, number, boolean, and date during the query string parsing and stringifying process.

Installation

To install Route Query and its dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install next-route-query

Usage

Server Side

To use Route Query on the server side, you can import parseServerSearchParams and SearchParams from the library. Here's an example:

import { parseServerSearchParams, SearchParams } from "next-route-query";

function Page({ searchParams }: { searchParams?: SearchParams }) {
  const params = parseServerSearchParams<{ search: string; sizes: number[] }>(
    searchParams
  );

  // Now you can use the params in your server side logic
}

Client Side

On the client side, you can use the useRouteQuery hook from Route Query. Here's how you can use it:

import { useRouteQuery } from "next-route-query";

function Page() {
  const [params, setParams] = useRouteQuery<{
    search: string;
    sizes: number[];
  }>();

  // Now you can use the params in your client side logic
}

Creating Query Strings

To create a query string from an object, you can use the stringify function from Route Query:

import { stringify } from "next-route-query";

const query = stringify({
  search: "hello",
  sizes: [1, 2, 3],
});

// This will output: ?search=hello&sizes[0]=nr:1&sizes[1]=nr:2&sizes[2]=nr:3

Parsing Query Strings

To parse a query string into an object, you can use the parse function from Route Query:

import { parse } from "next-route-query";

const params = parse("?search=hello&sizes[0]=nr:1&sizes[1]=nr:2&sizes[2]=nr:3");

// This will output: { search: "hello", sizes: [1, 2, 3] }
