How to get parameter from url in js?

Question

I want to get the location in a URL (localhost: port/: location). For example, if the URL is localhost:8080/show/myplace/ I want to extract myplace. How to do this in javascript?

Answer 1

I think that :

window.location.pathname

should work

Answer 2

Try below code

var location = window.location.pathname.split('/').slice(-1)[0];

This will return the part of URI you want.

Answer 3

This will give you an array of each pathname in the url:

window.location.pathname.split('/')
