URLParams not able to work with react HashRouter

[AlloVince]

Issue Type: BUG

Platform: Web

Description:

My project is using react HashRouter, so the expected URL should as index.html#/search?q=foo

In reactivesearch, I saw the URLParamsProvider hard code params from window.location.search, in this case, window.location.search will be always empty, so URLParams not able to work with react HashRouter

In project searchkit, there is a getLocation callback to handle all url before changing window.location, maybe this is a solution to fix this issue.

Looking forward this issue be fixed.

Thanks for filing this. I will take a look at it today.

Added two new props for complete customisations:

- getSearchParams: Function [optional]
Enables you to customise the evaluation of query-params-string from the url (or) any other source. If this function is not set, the library will use window.location.search as the search query-params-string for parsing selected-values. This can come handy if the URL is using hash values.

- setSearchParams: Function [optional]
Enables you to customise setting of the query params string in the url by providing the updated query-params-string as the function parameter. If this function is not set, the library will set the window.history via pushState method.

Thanks for your quick response

Hi! Sorry I'm still pretty new to reactive search, what should the function return ? An object with field and selected values, like { "data_field": ["value1", "value2"...] } ?

If you want to support HashRouter, could use it as follow

getSearchParams={() => window.location.hash.split('?')[1]}

Oh thanks. Actually, using react-router, I'm trying to build a url by myself, then history.push(the_url), then see the results.
This works when I type it in my browser : http://localhost:3000/alt?authorfilter=['Thpo']
But this : <Link to={{ pathname: "/alt?authorfilter=['Thpo']" }}>Hello</Link> or this : history.push("/alt?authorfilter=['Thpo']") is transformed into this encoded thing : http://localhost:3000/alt?authorfilter=[%27Thpo%27] which wont activate any search.

I think the easiest way is not build url params your self, open all components URLParams, then just copy the url generated by components :)

If you are using the getSearchParams, you will also have to use setSearchParams to set the URLParams with the desired format.

can we perhaps see examples of these functions in action?
