Query parameters: updating just the query string

[rauschma]

If one keeps most of one’s state in the query string (vs. the path), one usually wants to update just the query string, without touching the path. This is how I did it – does that look OK?

// In my custom onClick handler:
this.context.history.pushState({}, document.location.pathname, { someKey: someValue });

// Via a <Link>
<Link to={document.location.pathname} query={{selected: ''}}>Clear selected</Link>

Suggestion – mention here: https://github.com/rackt/history/blob/master/docs/QuerySupport.md

That's more of a React Router question. You'd really want to use context.location over document.location or window.location.

#141 will provide a better API, eventually.

It is indeed. My bad, sorry!

Thanks for the tip, wasn’t aware of PropTypes.location!
