Answer 1

Here is a simple solution using the query-string library.

const qs = require('query-string')
function addQuery(key, value) {
  const q = qs.parse(location.search)
  const url = qs.stringifyUrl(
    {
      url: location.pathname,
      query: {
      ...q,
      [key]: value,
      },
    },
    { skipEmptyString: true }
  );
  window.location.href = url
  // if you are using Turbolinks
  // add this: Turbolinks.visit(url)
}
// Usage
addQuery('page', 2)

If you are using react without react-router

export function useAddQuery() {
  const location = window.location;
  const addQuery = useCallback(
    (key, value) => {
      const q = qs.parse(location.search);
      const url = qs.stringifyUrl(
        {
          url: location.pathname,
          query: {
            ...q,
            [key]: value,
          },
        },
        { skipEmptyString: true }
      );
      window.location.href = url
    },
    [location]
  );

  return { addQuery };
}
// Usage
const { addQuery } = useAddQuery()
addQuery('page', 2)

If you are using react with react-router

export function useAddQuery() {
  const location = useLocation();
  const history = useHistory();

  const addQuery = useCallback(
    (key, value) => {
      let pathname = location.pathname;
      let searchParams = new URLSearchParams(location.search);
      searchParams.set(key, value);
      history.push({
        pathname: pathname,
        search: searchParams.toString()
      });
    },
    [location, history]
  );

  return { addQuery };
}

// Usage
const { addQuery } = useAddQuery()
addQuery('page', 2)

PS: qs is the import from query-string module.
