React router cannot route url with search string

Question

I want to click a link with a search string. But the react router does not direct to that page. After refresh the page gets loaded. Is something wrong?

URL

 http://localhost:3000/landing?cars

Link button

                <Button
                 component={Link}
                 to={{pathname: "/landing?cars"}}
                 >
                 Cars
                </Button>

router

<Switch>
    <Route path="/landing" component={Landing} />
    ...
</Switch>

Oh my bad. In <Route path="/landing/:search" component={Landing} /> and to="/landing/cars". Then in landing page you can use const {search} = useParams(). But first make sure to import it from const { useParams } from 'react-router-dom' — lala

Need an optional parameter:

<Switch>
    <Route path="/landing/:search" component={Landing} />
    ...
</Switch>

<Button
    component={Link}
    to="/landing/cars"
    />
    Cars
    </Button>

Then in the Landing page you can access the parameter using the match object. For example:

const { searchValue } = this.props.match.params.id;

With your suggestion the routing works, but a hard refresh will reult in a blanc page, because then I think :search is undefined. With your solution you cannot share the link. Do you know how to fix it?

@vuvu What do you mean by share the link, can you create a code sandbox of your issue/ problem?
