# Stop losing filter state: shareable URLs for AG Grid

ag-grid-url-sync is an open-source library I built that turns AG Grid filter state into clean, human-readable query strings, so a filtered view can be shared as a URL instead of a screenshot. It supports all 26 native AG Grid filter operations. The full write-up was published on the NearForm blog.

perfect filtered view, and the only way to share it is a screenshot and a list of instructions.
I built [ag-grid-url-sync](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ag-grid-url-sync) to fix that — it
serialises filter state into clean, human-readable query strings, covering all 26 native AG
Grid filter operations, so a view is just a URL you paste into Slack.

I wrote up the design, the API, and the workflow problems that motivated it on my employer's
