Syncwithlocation

how to achieve Syncwithlocation with useList like useTable, or if it's not supported, what's the cleanest way to make my own Syncwithlocation

Hi @tuanna_. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The syncWithLocation feature is available in refine and can be used with hooks like useSimpleList and useTable. This feature allows the state of the list or table (such as sort order, filters, and pagination) to be automatically encoded in the URL's query parameters. When the URL changes, the state of the list or table is automatically updated to match. This makes it easy to share list states across different routes or pages and allows users to bookmark or share links to specific table views. To use syncWithLocation with useSimpleList, you can set it to true as shown in the example below:

useSimpleList({  
 syncWithLocation: true,  
});

useSimpleList({  
 syncWithLocation: true,  
});

This feature is set to false by default. You can also set this value globally on the <Refine> component. If you want to use syncWithLocation with useTable, you can refer to the useTable documentation as suggested in a GitHub issue comment. If you encounter any issues with syncWithLocation, such as it not working properly with the sort feature, it might be due to a bug. There was a reported issue where the sort parameters defined in the URL search params did not properly load onto the table/list. This issue might be related to the deprecation of sorter that changed to sorters. For more complex scenarios or if you want to create your own syncWithLocation functionality, you might need to override certain methods of the data provider, such as the getList method. However, this approach requires a good understanding of the refine framework and its data provider concept.

@kapa.ai i asked useList not useSimpleList 😦

kapa.ai•16mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize for the confusion. Based on the provided extracts, there's no direct mention of syncWithLocation being used with useList. However, syncWithLocation is a feature of refine and is used to sync the state of the list or table with the URL's query parameters. If you want to implement a similar functionality with useList, you might need to manually handle the synchronization of the state with the URL. This could involve using React's state and effect hooks to listen for changes in the list state and update the URL accordingly, and vice versa. Unfortunately, without more specific information or examples related to useList and syncWithLocation, it's difficult to provide a more detailed or accurate answer. I would recommend checking the official refine documentation or reaching out to the refine community for more guidance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai how filters param in refine works, &filters[0][field]=status.text&filters[0][operator]=in&filters[0][value][0]=Ready like how do you get filters from url like this

kapa.ai•16mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Refine uses the syncWithLocation feature to synchronize the state of your application with the URL. This includes filters, sort order, and pagination. When syncWithLocation is set to true, the URL will reflect the current state of your page. The filters in the URL are structured as query parameters. In your example, filters[0][field]=status.text&filters[0][operator]=in&filters[0][value][0]=Ready, this represents a filter where the field is status.text, the operator is in, and the value is Ready. To get these filters from the URL, you can use the URLSearchParams interface provided by the browser. Here's a basic example:

const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const filters = JSON.parse(params.get('filters'));

const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const filters = JSON.parse(params.get('filters'));

In this example, filters would be an array of filter objects, each with field, operator, and value properties. Please note that this is a simplified example. In a real-world application, you would need to handle cases where the filters parameter is not present in the URL or is not valid JSON. For more information on how to use the syncWithLocation feature in refine, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useNavigation/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai In the reverse direction, how can I convert a filters object into a query string as mentioned above?

kapa.ai•16mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To convert a filters object into a query string, you can use the URLSearchParams interface provided by the browser. Here's a basic example:

const filters = [
  {
    field: "status.text",
    operator: "in",
    value: ["Ready"],
  },
  // more filters...
];

const params = new URLSearchParams();

filters.forEach((filter, index) => {
  params.append(`filters[${index}][field]`, filter.field);
  params.append(`filters[${index}][operator]`, filter.operator);
  
  if (Array.isArray(filter.value)) {
    filter.value.forEach((value, valueIndex) => {
      params.append(`filters[${index}][value][${valueIndex}]`, value);
    });
  } else {
    params.append(`filters[${index}][value]`, filter.value);
  }
});

const queryString = params.toString();

const filters = [
  {
    field: "status.text",
    operator: "in",
    value: ["Ready"],
  },
  // more filters...
];

const params = new URLSearchParams();

filters.forEach((filter, index) => {
  params.append(`filters[${index}][field]`, filter.field);
  params.append(`filters[${index}][operator]`, filter.operator);
  
  if (Array.isArray(filter.value)) {
    filter.value.forEach((value, valueIndex) => {
      params.append(`filters[${index}][value][${valueIndex}]`, value);
    });
  } else {
    params.append(`filters[${index}][value]`, filter.value);
  }
});

const queryString = params.toString();

In this example, queryString would be a string like "filters[0][field]=status.text&filters[0][operator]=in&filters[0][value][0]=Ready". Please note that this is a simplified example. In a real-world application, you would need to handle cases where the filters object is not in the expected format. For more information on how to use the URLSearchParams interface, you can refer to the MDN Web Docs (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai the result ended like this: filters=filters%255B0%255D%255Bfield%255D%3Dcolor%26filters%255B0%255D%255Boperator%255D%3Deq%26filters%255B0%255D%255Bvalue%255D%3Deb1d7435-69be-4a85-9753-a9109252d820 why that

kapa.ai•16mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The string you're seeing,

filters=filters%255B0%255D%255Bfield%255D%3Dcolor%26filters%255B0%255D%255Boperator%255D%3Deq%26filters%255B0%255D%255Bvalue%255D%3Deb1d7435-69be-4a85-9753-a9109252d820

, is URL-encoded. URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits corresponding to the character in the ISO-8859-1 character set. In your case, the string is double-encoded, which is why you're seeing %255B instead of %5B ([), %255D instead of %5D (]), and %3D (=) and %26 (&) remain the same because they are safe characters. To get the correct query string, you need to ensure that the string is only encoded once. Here's the corrected version of the previous example:

const filters = [
  {
    field: "status.text",
    operator: "in",
    value: ["Ready"],
  },
  // more filters...
];

const params = new URLSearchParams();

filters.forEach((filter, index) => {
  params.append(`filters[${index}][field]`, filter.field);
  params.append(`filters[${index}][operator]`, filter.operator);
  
  if (Array.isArray(filter.value)) {
    filter.value.forEach((value, valueIndex) => {
      params.append(`filters[${index}][value][${valueIndex}]`, value);
    });
  } else {
    params.append(`filters[${index}][value]`, filter.value);
  }
});

const queryString = params.toString();

const filters = [
  {
    field: "status.text",
    operator: "in",
    value: ["Ready"],
  },
  // more filters...
];

const params = new URLSearchParams();

filters.forEach((filter, index) => {
  params.append(`filters[${index}][field]`, filter.field);
  params.append(`filters[${index}][operator]`, filter.operator);
  
  if (Array.isArray(filter.value)) {
    filter.value.forEach((value, valueIndex) => {
      params.append(`filters[${index}][value][${valueIndex}]`, value);
    });
  } else {
    params.append(`filters[${index}][value]`, filter.value);
  }
});

const queryString = params.toString();

In this example, queryString would be a string like "filters[0][field]=status.text&filters[0][operator]=in&filters[0][value][0]=Ready". ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
