Save Filtering during navigation

General

Hi!

I have an overview-View which contains filters, once i filter it shows search result. If i click a search result and return to the overview, the filter is gone.

I think this is because the View per default is request scoped?

No i am evaluating how i safe the filter. The filter should not be persitent for ever, only per Session, thats why i thought to get the View Session Scoped. Another idea was to save the selected filters in the browsers local storage or cookie.

I would like to participate from your experience, does anyone has a best pratice info for me?

Either UIScope / RouteScope if it’s something private or use the URL to make it bookmark able

Hi Nico,

If you store the filter values in the session and users navigate with the browsers back/forward button, users may sometimes report unexpected results because they don’t notice what filters are set (or not set).

If you use url parameters, back/forward buttons will have predicable behavior.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Works really really well with URL Parameter, this also helps to save bookmarks/favorites in browser.
