Link search without from

I have links that I want to use in every list / table view in my app like this one:

<DropdownMenuItem asChild>
  <Link search={(prev) => ({ ...prev, sort: undefined })}>
    <Slash className="text-muted-foreground/70 mr-2 h-3.5 w-3.5" />
    <FormattedMessage defaultMessage="Clear Sorting" />
  </Link>
</DropdownMenuItem>

<DropdownMenuItem asChild>
  <Link search={(prev) => ({ ...prev, sort: undefined })}>
    <Slash className="text-muted-foreground/70 mr-2 h-3.5 w-3.5" />
    <FormattedMessage defaultMessage="Clear Sorting" />
  </Link>
</DropdownMenuItem>

They should only manipulate the search params without changing the route. I defined the necessary search params on the root route to have them available anywhere. But the Types are complaining unless I add a Route to to or from, which breaks my usecase. The TS error is:

Type '{ columnFilters: { id: string; value: string[]; }[]; sorting?: { id: string; desc: boolean; }[] | undefined; columnVisibility?: Record<string, boolean> | undefined; pagination?: { pageIndex: number; pageSize: number; } | undefined; ... 6 more ...; emailVerified?: boolean | undefined; }' is not assignable to type 'never'.

Type '{ columnFilters: { id: string; value: string[]; }[]; sorting?: { id: string; desc: boolean; }[] | undefined; columnVisibility?: Record<string, boolean> | undefined; pagination?: { pageIndex: number; pageSize: number; } | undefined; ... 6 more ...; emailVerified?: boolean | undefined; }' is not assignable to type 'never'.

can you please provide a minimal complete example, e.g. by forking one of the existing examples on stackblitz?

https://stackblitz.com/edit/tanstack-router-la8jm3?file=src%2Froutes%2Fabout.tsx&view=editor Here is a simplified example. Root defines search params. I was expecting these params would work on any link without defining to or from. See the links added in index or about

Thank you so much!

Hi there! When I try this solution I get a TS error on the prev prop in parens that says "Parameter 'prev' implicitly has an 'any' type." – does that imply I've missed some important config somewhere?

correct-apricot•12mo ago

maybe 🙂 same for you: can you please provide a minimal complete example, e.g. by forking one of the existing examples on stackblitz?

Okay I tried the Quickstart (code-based) and made a new nav element with to="." and the same search prop I have in my own code and it didn't throw a type error When I hover on (prev) it tells me the type of prev is {} So in my project I made my search look like this: search={(prev: {}) => ({ ...prev, detail: "new" })} and the TS error went away I'm going to test to make sure everything still behaves properly, but if this is what it takes to ship a bunch of other changes that got held up by upgrading TSR (from 1.51 to 1.58) then I'm happy enough!

correct-apricot•12mo ago

wait, now I understood what you did this should not be necessary

optimistic-gold•12mo ago

Back in 1.51 I was just using search={{ detail: "new" }} and everything was groovy, but the release notes didn't give me a good clue of what may have changed

correct-apricot•12mo ago

if you can share a reproducer we will look at it

optimistic-gold•12mo ago

Okay! I'm about to jump into a meeting but I'll see what I can do!

hey @Kevin Ris my code looks like this:

<DropdownMenuItem asChild>
    <Link
        to="."
        search={(prev) => ({
            ...prev,
            columnFilters: prev.columnFilters?.filter(
                (f) => f.id !== column.id,
            ),
        })}
    >
        <X />
        <FormattedMessage defaultMessage="Clear Filter" />
    </Link>
</DropdownMenuItem>

<DropdownMenuItem asChild>
    <Link
        to="."
        search={(prev) => ({
            ...prev,
            columnFilters: prev.columnFilters?.filter(
                (f) => f.id !== column.id,
            ),
        })}
    >
        <X />
        <FormattedMessage defaultMessage="Clear Filter" />
    </Link>
</DropdownMenuItem>

this works because, if no route is specified, tanstack router treats every routes search params as possible. they are all optional then. that's fine for my usecase
