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)
  }
}
