Now, you want to add a filter parameter to it, such as filters=219,213. This is a common use case where dynamic filtering is required based on user interactions.

The challenge here is how to efficiently add this filter to your existing query string without disrupting the current URL state.

Solution Overview

useSearchParams: To access the current query parameters.

useRouter: To make changes to the browser’s history and update the URL.
