Filtering Query Parameters

Learn how to filter query params in Edge Middleware.

Filtering Query Parameters

The example shows how to filter query parameters from the URL using Edge Middleware.

To see how it works, check the middleware function in middleware.ts:

import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

const allowedParams = ['allowed']

export const config = {
  matcher: '/',
}

export default function middleware(req: NextRequest) {
  const url = req.nextUrl
  let changed = false

  url.searchParams.forEach((_, key) => {
    if (!allowedParams.includes(key)) {
      url.searchParams.delete(key)
      changed = true
    }
  })

  // Avoid infinite loop by only redirecting if the query
  // params were changed
  if (changed) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(url)
    // It's also useful to do a rewrite instead of a redirect
    // return NextResponse.rewrite(url)
  }
}
