  • 🌐 Stop Fighting Next.js Search Params: Use nuqs for Type-Safe URL State
    1 project | dev.to | 8 Dec 2025
    In the Next.js App Router era, managing URL search parameters should feel like managing simple React state declarative, type-safe, and without boilerplate. That's exactly what nuqs (Next.js URL Query State) delivers.
  • URL Is Your State

    nuqs[0] is a great (React) library for managing state inside of the URL.

  • Htmx and URL State Management
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Jul 2025
    Nuqs[0] does a very good job at parsing and managing search params. It's a complex issue that involves serialization and deserialization, as well as complex management of throttling URL updates. It's a wonderful library.

    Forms are also complex because they involve many different data-types, client-side state, (client?) and server validation, crossing the network boundary, and so on. These are not simple issues, no matter how much the average developer would love them to be. It's time to accept the problem domain as complex.

    I will say that React Server Components are a huge step towards giving power back to the URL, and also allowing developers to access the full power of both the client and the server, but the community at large has deemed the mental model too complex. Especially with forms, it enables you to build complex forms that work with or without javascript enabled, and handle crossing the boundary rather gracefully. After working with RSCs for several years now, I can't imagine going back. I've written several blog posts about them[1] and feel the community should invest more time into understanding their ideas.

    I have a post in my drafts about how taking advantage of URL params properly (with or without RSCs) give our UIs object permanence. How we as web developers should be relying on it more and using it to reflect client-side state. Not always, but more often. But it's a hard post to finish as communicating and crystalizing these ideas are difficult. One day I'll get it out.

  • Mitt, a tiny 200b functional eventĀ emitter.

    I found mitt imported in a file named sync.ts in nuqs package.
  • Next.js shallow search params routing
    1 project | dev.to | 24 Mar 2025
    You can build abstractions around it and do whatever you want with shallow routing. For simple things it would be okay to use History API directly, but as always web development have many rough edge cases that would pop out at the least expected moment, that said, there is an excellent library out there called nuqs it makes search params first class citizen in Next.js (and other frameworks also!) and makes sure you won't encounter those rough edge cases.
  • Hook to Manage URL Search Params Like a Boss:?react-router=use&zod=validate&mess=less
    2 projects | dev.to | 3 Feb 2025
    nuqs - literally state manager for search params. If you want to put JSON in search params, this is your choice. It offers adapters for Next.js, React Router. And documentation is awesome.
  • Managing search parameters in Next.js with nuqs
    2 projects | dev.to | 2 Dec 2024
    nuqs offers a more flexible and developer-friendly approach. It simplifies query string handling by providing a declarative API, enabling users to synchronize search parameters with React.state without stress.
