How to get parameter after slash using javascript

Question

I want to get the parameters after slash in the url. For example the facebook profile url is like this https://www.facebook.com/username
I want to get username parameter from the url and act on it. I am sorry if its a duplicate question or not but I could not find the solution for it anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

You can do split('/').pop() with backslash:

var url = 'https://www.facebook.com/username';
var username = url.split('/').pop();
console.log(username);
