Managing query parameters effectively is crucial when developing SPA modules in Oqtane, a modern Blazor-based CMS and application framework. Query parameters like discussionId or moduleId are often used to control filtering and navigation. However, if left unmanaged, they can clutter URLs, cause stale state issues, and degrade user experience. This article explains best practices for reading, using, and removing query parameters dynamically within Oqtane modules using Blazor’s NavigationManager. By proactively cleaning up parameters after their use, developers can maintain clean URLs, ensure accurate module state, and improve overall usability. The guide also highlights how to handle multiple parameters simultaneously and the importance of meaningful parameter naming for maintainability.
