Get Current Window URL Query Params

[luisdgeneMT]

Hello,

I am attempting to get an auth token from a callback URI pointing to my app.
The current callback URI looks like this once my user authorizes in the external app:

https://myapp.budibase.app/app/appname?code=CODE#/appPage

In other instances I would have used something like
return window.location.href
and parsed CODE, since I am aware budibase uses path parameters and not query parameters when parsing the URL.query using /:query notation.

I cannot use the OpenID auth option for this specific scenario.

If it helps, I am trying to connect this way:

Hey @luisdgeneMT,

You can also use query parameters and output the query. Heres a quick demo below showing how this can work;

Screen structure;

Home page with button navigate to action;

Query page setup

Output of working version

Hopefully this helps.

Hi @ConorWebb96,

So unfortunately this is not a functional workaround due to the following:

As configured, my URI callback looks something like this (I will use your example naming the page "query"):
https://myapp.budibase.app/app/appname/query

When the page loads on budibase including the query parameters, it ends up looking like this:
https://myapp.budibase.app/app/appname/query?code=123#/query

To my understanding, your workaround would only work if it looked something like this:
https://myapp.budibase.app/app/appname#/query?code=123

However I have no way of getting the redirect URI to be sent this way from the Xero auth screen - my current use case.
This is why I need the entire URL, so I can parse manually, because query params only work if passed internally - at least that's the behavior I am seeing thus far.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi I am actually trying to do something very similar with Xero too!

Did you have any luck with this?

@luisdgeneMT I'd love to know if you managed to make this work as I want to try to achieve something similar
