# `useSearchParam` React sensor hook that tracks browser's location search param. ## Usage ```jsx import {useSearchParam} from 'react-use'; const Demo = () => { const edit = useSearchParam('edit'); return ( <div> <div>edit: {edit || '🤷♂️'}</div> <div> <button onClick={() => history.pushState({}, '', location.pathname + '?edit=123')}>Edit post 123 (?edit=123)</button> </div> <div> <button onClick={() => history.pushState({}, '', location.pathname + '?edit=999')}>Edit post 999 (?edit=999)</button> </div> <div> <button onClick={() => history.pushState({}, '', location.pathname)}>Close modal</button> </div> </div> ); }; ``` ## Caveats/Gotchas When using a hash router, like `react-router`'s [`<HashRouter>`](https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/blob/master/packages/react-router-dom/docs/api/HashRouter.md), this hook won't be able to read the search parameters as they are considered part of the hash of the URL by browsers.
