How to get the URL without any parameters in JavaScript?
JavascriptJavascript Problem Overview
If I use:
alert(window.location.href);
I get everything including query strings. Is there a way to just get the main url part, for example:
http://mysite.com/somedir/somefile/
instead of
http://mysite.com/somedir/somefile/?foo=bar&loo=goo
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
This is possible, but you'll have to build it manually from the location object:
location.protocol + '//' + location.host + location.pathname
Solution 2 - Javascript
Every answer is rather convoluted. Here:
var url = window.location.href.split('?')[0];
Even if a ? isn't present, it'll still return the first argument, which will be your full URL, minus query string.
It's also protocol-agnostic, meaning you could even use it for things like ftp, itunes.etc.
Solution 3 - Javascript
I'm LATE to the party, but I had to solve this recently, figured I'd share the wealth.
const url = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname
//http://example.com/somedir/somefile/
window.location.origin will give you the base url, in our test case: http://example.com
window.location.pathname will give you the route path (after the base url), in our test case /somedir/somefile
SOLUTION 2
You can simply do the following to get rid of the query parameters.
const url = window.location.href.split('?')[0]
Solution 4 - Javascript
Use indexOf
var url = "http://mysite.com/somedir/somefile/?aa";
if (url.indexOf("?")>-1){
url = url.substr(0,url.indexOf("?"));
}
Solution 5 - Javascript
You can concat origin and pathname, if theres present a port such as example.com:80, that will be included as well.
location.origin + location.pathname
Solution 6 - Javascript
Just one more alternative using URL
var theUrl = new URL(window.location.href);
theUrl.search = ""; //Remove any params
theUrl //as URL object
theUrl.href //as a string
Solution 7 - Javascript
var url = "tp://mysite.com/somedir/somefile/?foo=bar&loo=goo"
url.substring(0,url.indexOf("?"));
Solution 8 - Javascript
You can use a regular expression: window.location.href.match(/^[^\#\?]+/)[0]
Solution 9 - Javascript
Use the URL() constructor, then extract and concatenate the origin and pathname. This will automatically strip the search (aka query) parameters from the url, leaving the scheme, domain, port and pathname only.
const url = new URL('http://localhost:8080/index.html?search=foo&other=bar');
console.log(url.origin + url.pathname);
Solution 10 - Javascript
If you look at the documentation you can take just the properties you're interested in from the window object i.e.
protocol + '//' + hostname + pathname
