jAdd Query Parameters
To add query parameters to the URL, update the PageReference state property. The key-value pairs of the state property are serialized to URL query parameters. The
query parameters describe the page and form a more specific URL that the user can save or
bookmark.
Keep these behaviors in mind when working with the state property.
- You can’t directly change the pageReference object. To update the state, create a new pageReference object, and copy the values using Object.assign({}, pageReference).
- state parameters must be namespaced. For example, a managed package with the namespace abc with a parameter accountId is represented as abc__accountId. The namespace for custom components is c__.Parameters without a namespace are reserved for Salesforce use. This namespace restriction is introduced under a critical update in Winter ’19 and enforced in Summer ’19.
- Since the key-value pairs of PageReference.state are serialized to URL query parameters, all the values must be strings.
- Code that consumes values from state must parse the value into its proper format.
- To delete a value from the state object, define it as undefined.
If your component uses the lightning:hasPageReference or lightning:isUrlAddressable interfaces, always implement a change handler. When the target of a navigation action maps to the same component, the routing container might simply update the pageReference attribute value instead of recreating the component. In this scenario, a change handler ensures that your component reacts correctly.
