SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill demonstrates pattern for reading URL query parameters in client components using useSearchParams, wrapped in a Suspense boundary.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two requirements: 'use client' and Suspense wrapper
  • Read URL query params like q, category, and more
  • Navigate/update params with router.push

Quick Start

Create a client component that uses useSearchParams inside a Suspense wrapper to read and display the query value.

FAQPage Schema
How do I read URL query parameters in Next.js client components?

Use the useSearchParams hook from next/navigation to read URL query parameters in client components. The hook returns a ReadonlyURLSearchParams object that lets you access query values like search terms, filters, or pagination parameters directly from the URL.

Why do I need Suspense when using useSearchParams in Next.js?

Suspense is required because useSearchParams reads parameters asynchronously during hydration in client components. Wrapping useSearchParams in a Suspense boundary prevents hydration mismatches between server and client renders, ensuring the component displays only after parameters are available.

Can I use useSearchParams for search, filtering, and pagination in Next.js?

Yes, useSearchParams works for any client-side URL parameter manipulation—search boxes, category filters, pagination controls, and sorting. After reading parameters with useSearchParams, use router.push to update the URL when users change filters or navigate between pages.

What's required to use useSearchParams in a Next.js component?

Two requirements: add the 'use client' directive at the top of your component file to mark it as a client component, and wrap the useSearchParams hook call inside a Suspense boundary to handle asynchronous parameter reading.

How do I update URL query parameters after reading them with useSearchParams?

Import useRouter from next/navigation and call router.push with a new URL containing updated query parameters. This changes the URL and triggers a re-read of useSearchParams, updating your UI without a full page reload.
