Use url query parameter like regular refs in Vue, in a typesafe way.
npm install vue-use-query-paramIMPORTANT: This plugin has a peer dependency on vue-router.
It will only work when using vue-router in your Vue app.
- Get & set query parameters from the URL in a typesafe way
- Use query parameters like regular ref's
Don't want to read the rest of the README? Check out the examples.
``bash`
npm install vue-use-query-param
`bash`
pnpm add vue-use-query-param
`bash`
yarn add vue-use-query-param
`ts
import { createApp } from "vue";
import { createRouter } from "vue-router";
import useQueryParamPlugin from "vue-use-query-param";
const router = createRouter({ ... });
const app = createApp(App);
app.use(router);
app.use(useQueryParamPlugin, {});
app.mount("#app");
`
`vue
{{ foo }}
`
If your query parameter should always have a value, you can set a default value like this:
`ts`
import { stringParam, useQueryParam, withDefault } from "vue-use-query-param";
const foo = useQueryParam("foo", withDefault(stringParam(), "bar"));
Currently only a few basic types are supported.
- stringParam: for stringsnumberParam
- : for numbers (integers and floats)objectParam
- : custom Objects that will be serialized to JSON.booleanParam
- : for booleansdateParam
- : for dates and datetimearrayParam
- : for arrays of the above types objectParam
NOTE: Nested arrays are currently only possible using . e.g.: objectParam;
For some examples on how to use these, check out these examples.
Internally, to be able to set multiple query parameters at once, we don't update the URL immediately after every change. We use setTimeout to debounce the updates. 0
By default the debounce time is set to , meaning it will update the URL as soon as possible. debounceTime
If however you want to delay this more, you can set the option when adding the plugin to the Vue app.
`ts
app.use(useQueryParamPlugin, { debounceTime: 100 });
...
const foo = useQueryParam("foo", stringParam());
const bar = useQueryParam("bar", stringParam());
// the foo and bar query parameters in the URL won't be updated immediately, but only after 150ms.`
// (50 ms for the bar timeout + 100ms for the debounce time)
foo.value = "fooval";
setTimeout(() => {
bar.value = "barval";
}, 50);
TypeScript NPM Package Publishing: A Beginner’s Guide (by Paul Ehikhuemen)
I'm originally a React dev and I made much use of the use-query-params hook.

The original need for this plugin came when working on a project for ai-Gust. An initial implementation of useQueryParam` was made there.
They were so kind to let me make this into a separate npm module and make it open source for the world to enjoy.
I've since built on this initial implementation.
