Pager changes filters unexpectedly

I have a button that setsfilters, but when I go to a new page the filters state is returned to the previous filters state Can someone help me figure out how to troubleshoot this?

Hi @xmorge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- When you experience filters reverting to a previous state after changing the page (using the pager), this is often related to how the filters are managed and synchronized with the URL or internal state in refine. Here are some troubleshooting steps and considerations based on the knowledge sources: 1. Check syncWithLocation and URL Syncing
If you are using syncWithLocation (or similar URL syncing), ensure your filters are correctly reflected in the URL. There have been issues in the past where filters were not properly synced or reset when navigating pages. Updating refine to the latest version has resolved such issues for some users, so make sure your dependencies are up to date.
See example and discussion 2. How Are You Setting Filters?
The setFilters function in hooks like useTable or useDataGrid accepts a second parameter to control the filter behavior: "merge" (default) or "replace". If you want to completely replace the filters, use "replace":

   setFilters(newFilters, "replace");

   setFilters(newFilters, "replace");

If you use "merge", new filters are merged with existing ones, which can sometimes lead to unexpected results if not managed carefully.
See documentation 3. Pager and Filter State
If the pager is reverting filters, it could be because the filter state is not being persisted or is being reset on page change. This can happen if: - The filters are not synced with the URL and the component is remounting. - The filter state is managed outside of refine's hooks and not properly passed back in. 4. Known Issues and Fixes
There have been reports of similar issues, and in some cases, updating refine fixed the problem. In other cases, the issue was due to not using the correct filter behavior or not syncing filters with the URL.
See user and contributor comments 5. Custom Filter Components
If you use custom filter components, ensure they are correctly reading from and writing to the filter state managed by refine. Otherwise, the state may not persist as expected when paginating.
See related discussion Summary of what to check: - Are you using the latest version of refine? - Are you using setFilters with the correct behavior ("merge" or "replace")? - Is your filter state synced with the URL if you expect it to persist across navigation? - Are your custom filter components correctly integrated with refine's filter state? If you provide a code snippet or more details about your setup, I can help you further pinpoint the issue. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai How do I know if the latest refine will fix this? How do I sync with url? How do custom filter components integrate with filters state?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Certainly! Here are answers to your questions, strictly based on the provided knowledge sources: --- 1. How do I know if the latest refine will fix this? If you are experiencing issues with filters resetting or not syncing as expected, it is recommended to update to the latest version of refine. There have been similar issues reported in the past (e.g., filters resetting on page change), and users have confirmed that updating to the latest version resolved their problems. For example, in this issue, the user confirmed that updating dependencies fixed the filter reset issue. --- 2. How do I sync with URL? To sync table state (filters, pagination, sorting) with the URL, you need to enable the syncWithLocation option. This can be done globally in the <Refine /> component or locally in the useTable hook: Globally (recommended):

<Refine
  // ...
  options={{ syncWithLocation: true }}
>
  {/* ... */}
</Refine>

<Refine
  // ...
  options={{ syncWithLocation: true }}
>
  {/* ... */}
</Refine>

Or locally in the hook:

const { ... } = useTable({
  syncWithLocation: true,
});

const { ... } = useTable({
  syncWithLocation: true,
});

With this enabled, the table state will be encoded in the URL, and changes to the URL will update the table state automatically. This makes it easy to share or bookmark specific table views.
See documentation
See routing guide --- 3. How do custom filter components integrate with filters state? Custom filter components should read from and update the filter state managed by refine. You can use the filters value from useTable and helper functions like getDefaultFilter to get the current filter value for a specific field. When rendering your custom filter component, set its value from the filter state and update the filters using setFilters when the user interacts with the component. Example:

import { getDefaultFilter, useTable } from "@refinedev/core";

const { filters, setFilters } = useTable();

const nameFilterValue = getDefaultFilter("name", filters, "contains");

// Use nameFilterValue as the value for your custom filter component
// Call setFilters to update filters when the user changes the filter

import { getDefaultFilter, useTable } from "@refinedev/core";

const { filters, setFilters } = useTable();

const nameFilterValue = getDefaultFilter("name", filters, "contains");

// Use nameFilterValue as the value for your custom filter component
// Call setFilters to update filters when the user changes the filter

See documentation If you use custom filter UIs, ensure they are initialized with the current filter state and update the state via refine's hooks, so the state remains consistent and persists across navigation and refreshes. --- If you need more specific integration examples for custom filter components, please provide more details about your setup. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
