I am building a results filtering page using AJAX requests. I would like to reflect the filters in the URL. For example: for price_from I want to add ?price_from=VAL to the URL.

I have a backend that is capable of rendering the page with URL parameters.

After some googling I would a Backbone.router solution which has a hash fallback for the IE that does not support HTML5 history API.

I have a problem with setting a good philosophy of routes. I have a set of filtering parameters (price_from, price_to, color, …) and I would like to attach each parameter to one route.

Is that possible to chain the routes to match for example: ?price_from=0&price_to=1&color=red? (the item order can change)

It means: call all the routes at the same time and keep the ie backwards compatibility?

    Your best bet would be to have a query portion of the URL rather than using GET parameters to denote the search criteria. For example:

    • Push state: /search/query/price_from=0&price_to=1&color=red
    • Hash based: #search/query/price_from=0&price_to=1&color=red

    Your backend would of course need to change a bit to be able to parse the new URL structure.
