Hi does react router params automatically decodes string?
For example i have this route
<Route path="/callback/:url"/>
and when I call it with C5jb20%3D
it will print C5jb20= when I console.log() that parameters
Is this an expected behavior? Can I change this behavior so that I still get the encoded string?
Thanks!
C5jb20%3D is a URL encoded string, which is a way to encode special characters in a URL. For example, if you have a URL parameter like ?redirect=/some/path, a server could interpret the forward slashes as routing paths, and mess up the expected routing. That's why you see things like ?redirect=%2Fsome%2Fpath, and your example, in URLs.
window.location.path will have the original, unencoded URL.
You could also get it back with encodeURIComponent:
encodeURIComponent('C5jb20=') // "C5jb20%3D"
You probably don't want to, though, depending on your use case.
