Hi @next sun. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
In Astro, you can hide query parameters by not including them in the frontmatter of your Astro file. The frontmatter is the information at the top of the file, inside the code fences. This data, which can include tags and a post image, is information about your post that Astro can use. It does not appear on the page automatically.
For example, if you have a page at src/pages/posts/[id].astro and you export getStaticPaths from this page, you can return the following for paths:
---
export async function getStaticPaths() {
return [
{ params: { id: '1' } },
{ params: { id: '2' } },
{ params: { id: '3' } }
];
}
const { id } = Astro.params;
---
<h1>{id}</h1>
In this example, the id parameter is used in the frontmatter but it does not appear on the page automatically. Astro will statically generate posts/1, posts/2, and posts/3 at build time, but the id parameter will not be visible on the page.
For more information, you can refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/api-reference#params).
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@plush grove how can i hide search parameters in a url

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
In Astro, when you're using the default output: 'static' option, search parameters like ?foo=bar are not included in Astro.request.url because they can't be determined ahead of time during static builds. This effectively hides search parameters in the URL.
Here's an example of how you might use Astro.request:
<p>Received a {Astro.request.method} request to "{Astro.request.url}".</p>
<p>Received request headers: <code>{JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(Astro.request.headers))}</code>
In this example, Astro.request.url does not contain search parameters.
However, if you're using output: 'server' mode, Astro.request.url will contain search parameters because they can be determined from a server request.
