Hot-reload with query string

[MichaelDeBoey]

Hi there!

I was wondering if it's possible to use a query string with the hot-reload?

Right now if I go to http://localhost:3000, my app will check if the mandatory GET parameters are present.
If so, the app will continue.
If not, the app will show an error.

So what I'm trying to do is going to http://localhost:3000?param1=value1&param2=value2.
When I than chance the code, the app hot-reloads I lose the GET parameters (and my whole (Redux) state also 😕).

Is there a way to keep the query string (or to keep my state) on hot-reload?

I'm having this same exact issue. Whenever I load my app with a query string, the server strips that query string. It normally wouldn't be a huge issue except that I'm trying to get query string parameters from a redirect. Lots of services and apps do this, and developing on CRA breaks this.

This is not related to CRA.

I created a new app and opened http://localhost:3000/?test. Then I edited src/App.js. The app reloaded at http://localhost:3000/?test.

All we do is call location.reload(). It wouldn't erase the query string. It's your code that's doing it somewhere.
