Is it possible to set the url parameter in ipfs? Or is there an alternative to that?

Are you referring to URL parameters when fetching from IPFS Gateways, e.g. https://bafybeibml5uieyxa5tufngvg7fgwbkwvlsuntwbxgtskoqynbt7wlchmfm.ipfs.dweb.link, or when using native ipfs URLs, e.g. ipfs://bafybeibml5uieyxa5tufngvg7fgwbkwvlsuntwbxgtskoqynbt7wlchmfm?

IPFS Gateways support three query parameters, which you can read more about here: specs/PATH_GATEWAY.md at main · ipfs/specs · GitHub

I need to know how to set parameters for native ipfs URLs.

What are you trying to use parameters for? Because ultimately, it’s a question of the implementation that handles the ipfs:// URL.

See this doc (the closest thing we have to a spec) for the most up-to-date resource on how IPFS addressing is defined: in-web-browsers/ADDRESSING.md at master · ipfs/in-web-browsers · GitHub

I am trying to use the url parameter for javascript.
Thanks. I was able to execute it.

I’d be curious to hear more about how you’ve used it, in case others stumble upon this

I use it this way.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>URL Parameter Example</title>
  <script>
    const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);

    const value = urlParams.get('parameter');

    window.onload = function() {
      document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = value;
    };
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>URL Parameter Test</h1>
  <p>Add parameters and values to url.<br>
    For example '?parameter=aaa'</p>
  <p>Parameter value: <span id="result"></span></p>
</body>
</html>

Example.
ipfs://bafybeif2emss3qnv3yl3iyeojjuswly2zrlcv6dr4sgdggyvvhq3y4dpcy/?parameter=aaa
