  1. You can update search params easily with this approach, using native useSearchParams functional update.

    setSearchParams((searchParams) => {
    searchParams.set(“greeting”, “hi”);
    return searchParams;
    });

  2. Hi,

    Great post!
    It would be nice to see a section on how to manage updating multiple keys at the same time.
    For example if you set State A then State B you will end up with only State B’s changes.

    In my case I am trying to update a start and end date that are updated by the same callback function.

    Cheers,
    Casey
