Getting query parameters from react-router hash fragment

I'm using react and react-router for my application on the client side. I can't seem to figure out how to get the following query parameters from a url like:

http://xmen.database/search#/?status=APPROVED&page=1&limit=20

My routes look like this (the path is totally wrong I know):

var routes = (
<Route>
    <DefaultRoute handler={SearchDisplay}/>
    <Route name="search" path="?status=:status&page=:page&limit=:limit" handler={SearchDisplay}/>
    <Route name="xmen" path="candidate/:accountId" handler={XmenDisplay}/>
</Route>
);

My route is working fine but I'm just not sure how to format the path to get the parameters I want. Appreciate any help on this!

Writing in es6 and using react 0.14.6 / react-router 2.0.0-rc5. I use this command to lookup the query params in my components:

this.props.location.query

It creates a hash of all available query params in the url.

Update:

For React-Router v4, see this answer. Basically, use this.props.location.search to get the query string and parse with the query-string package or URLSearchParams:

const params = new URLSearchParams(paramsString); 
const tags = params.get('tags');

Solution 2:

The above answers won't work in react-router v4. Here's what I did to solve the problem -

First Install query-string which will be required for parsing.

npm install -save query-string

Now in the routed component you can access the un-parsed query string like this

this.props.location.search

You can cross check it by logging in the console.

Finally parse to access the query parameters

const queryString = require('query-string');
var parsed = queryString.parse(this.props.location.search);
console.log(parsed.param); // replace param with your own 

So if query is like ?hello=world

console.log(parsed.hello) will log world
