React Router And Arbitrary Query Params: Page Refreshes Unintentionally On Load?

Solution 1:

The problem here is that you're using Router.HashLocation, the default location if you don't specify one.

Router.run(routes, Router.HistoryLocation, function(...

Will fix the problem, but you'll need a server that can handle it.

If you still want hash location, put your query after the #. As far as HashLocation is concerned, the query before the # is not part of the location that it understands.
