Server Route Search Params

Is there a proper way to implement search params in server routes? I'm struggling to figure this out, since 'search' isn't available at all in the GET function parameters, and validateSearch is seemingly meaningless for server routes. For my main app, I'm using server functions in my SSR/queryClient fetching rather than fetching from the API like a conventional backend. But, eventually, having an external API would be important for my users.

import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/react-router";
import { getUsers } from "../../../lib/user";
import { json } from "@tanstack/react-start";

export const Route = createFileRoute("/api/users/")({
  server: {
    handlers: {
      GET: async ({ params, request }) => {
        const { ids, pageOffset, pageSize } = params;
        const users = await getUsers({data: { ids, pageOffset, pageSize }});

        return json(
          users
        )
      },
    },
  },
});

import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/react-router";
import { getUsers } from "../../../lib/user";
import { json } from "@tanstack/react-start";

export const Route = createFileRoute("/api/users/")({
  server: {
    handlers: {
      GET: async ({ params, request }) => {
        const { ids, pageOffset, pageSize } = params;
        const users = await getUsers({data: { ids, pageOffset, pageSize }});

        return json(
          users
        )
      },
    },
  },
});

I suppose it's feasible to do something like this, but it feels like circumventing Start.

const url = new URL(request.url);
const q = url.searchParams.get("q")?.trim() || undefined;
const pageSize = clampInt(url.searchParams.get("limit"), 1, 100, 50);
const pageOffset = clampInt(url.searchParams.get("offset"), 0, 10000, 0);

const url = new URL(request.url);
const q = url.searchParams.get("q")?.trim() || undefined;
const pageSize = clampInt(url.searchParams.get("limit"), 1, 100, 50);
const pageOffset = clampInt(url.searchParams.get("offset"), 0, 10000, 0);

you need to parse the search params from the URL start's server routes are purely request/response parsing the search can be done in many ways, you can also think about nesting something like hono inside of start

@Manuel Schiller so the validateSearch is truly meaningless for server routes?

ambitious-aqua•2mo ago

for the server part, yes but you can have server route and normal render route in the same file
