i am having route where i pass id,but i dont want to show id in url,
`<Route path={`${match.url}invite-members/:groupID`} exact component={InviteMembers} />`
this gets converted in url https://local..../invite-members/5,
but instead of that i want https://local..../invite-members, but the functionality should remain the same as in i get id in invite-members through this.props.match.params.groupID should be as it is,please help
using react router "react-router-dom": "^4.2.2",
If you want to change url to '/invite-members', you can add the Redirect component. And in case you want to save groupId, you could save it to your component state:
import React, { PureComponent } from "react";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";
import {
Router,
Route,
Link,
Switch,
Redirect
} from "react-router-dom";
class Root extends PureComponent {
// add groupId field to your component
// In case you use redux or any another state management library, you can save groupId to store
state = { groupId: null };
render() {
const { store, history } = this.props;
// just for example I defined '/' path to redirect on /invite-members url
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route
path="/"
exact
render={props => (
<Redirect
to={{
pathname: "/invite-members/123",
state: { from: props.location }
}}
/>
)}
/>
<Route
path="/invite-members"
exact
render={props => (
<InviteMembers {...props} groupId={this.state.groupId} />
)}
/>
<Route
path="/invite-members/:groupID"
exact
render={props => {
return (
<RedirectAndSaveGroupId
{...props}
groupId={props.match.params.groupID}
onSetGroupId={groupId => {
this.setState({ groupId });
}}
/>
);
}}
/>
</Switch>
</Router>
);
}
}
export default Root;
class RedirectAndSaveGroupId extends PureComponent {
componentDidMount() {
// save groupId to Root component
this.props.onSetGroupId(this.props.groupId);
}
render() {
// redirect to /invite-members without groupId
return (
<Redirect
to={{
pathname: "/invite-members",
state: { from: this.props.location }
}}
/>
);
}
}
// Just for demo. In this.props.groupId we can receive groupId
class InviteMembers extends PureComponent {
render() {
return this.props.groupId;
}
}Note, that in case you using any state management library such as Redux, you can store group id in them
I maybe have a very simple solution :
Router link :
<Link to={{pathname: '/item/'+name, state : {id}}}>{name}</Link>
In the Targeted file :
state = this.props.location.state
QueryParameters = () => {
const id = this.state.id
return { id }
}
And launch your query requiring the ID. It does not appear in the url.
Passing data in the params object will always result in that data being shown in the URL. Because the params object is built from the url.
invite-members/:groupID? I'm not sure of your server setup to know if you could POST the groupID or not
