Here is the URL :
www.example.com/?param%5B%5D=A¶m%5B%5D=B
the %5B%5D part is [] to pass param as an array, which is encoded in url.
Now, I want to remove one of parameters , desired output is:
www.example.com/?param%5B%5D=B
I have searched for this but found nothing!
All the answers are about removing a single value parameter, not multiple.
UPDATE:
I don't know the exact position of the parameter, i.e the URL could be something like this:
www.example.com/?test=124&test2=456¶m%5B%5D=A¶m%5B%5D=B
You can take advantage of URL WebAPI.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL
var base = 'http://www.example.com/'
var query = '?param%5B%5D=A¶m%5B%5D=B';
var url = new URL(base + query);
var params = new URLSearchParams(url.search);
var filteredParams = params.getAll('param[]')
.filter(function(el) {
return el !== "A";
}).map(function(el){
return ['param[]', el];
});
var newParams = new URLSearchParams(filteredParams);
var url = new URL(base + '?' + newParams.toString() );
console.log(url.toString());
Here is an example on how to extract the params from the URL.
Now how to use them on a user user interaction form (UI) is up to you.
// Use this to get the document location:
var ActualURL = document.location.href;
console.log("This snippet URL: "+ActualURL);
// Only for this demo, I "simulate" a URL.
// ActualURL is overwritten here.
var ActualURL = "www.example.com/?param%5B%5D=A¶m%5B%5D=B";
console.log("FAKED URL: "+ActualURL);
var domain = ActualURL.split("?")[0];
console.log("Domain: "+domain);
var params = ActualURL.split("?")[1];
var param_array = params.split("&");
for (i=0;i<param_array.length;i++){
console.log( "Param #"+i+": "+param_array[i] );
}
console.log("Rebuilted URL with only param #2: "+domain+"?"+param_array[1]);

I am writing a function that detects if the current URL contains a certain substring. If it contains, then I would like to remove it.
For example,
localhost/4000?ab=2&item=google
localhost/4000?ab=2&item=google123
localhost/4000?ab=2&item=google1233&haha=helpful
My idea is below....but kinda stuck in the process
function changeUrl(item) {
var currentUrl = window.location.href;
if(currentUrl.includes('&item=') ){
.....
.....
return currentUrl
}else return;
}
I wouldn't try to manipulate it as a string. JavaSccript has a perfectly good tool to manipulate URLs, and you might as well use it:
str = 'http://localhost/4000?ab=2&item=google1233&haha=helpful';
url = new URL(str);
url.searchParams.delete('item'); // Idempotent call
result = url.toString();
In this case, it's better to use URLSearchParams.
MDN DOCS
The URLSearchParams interface defines utility methods to work with the query string of a URL.
var url = new URL('https://example.com?foo=1&bar=2');
var params = new URLSearchParams(url.search);
// you can see params by this way
for (let p of params) {
console.log(p);
}
// if you want to check if some params are exist
console.log(params.has('foo')); // true
// if you want to delete some params
console.log(params.toString());
params.delete('foo');
console.log(params.toString());
When I'm trying to append an id to the end of my query string, the JS adds unnecessary ampersand and '=' sign to the query string.
I'm trying to go for something like this:
http://sample_site/report/file/list?f%5B%5D=1111
but I get this when I view the result in the console:
http://sample_site/report/file/list?f%5B%5D=&f=1111
Here is my JS function that builds a URL object:
buildTileFilter(){
let url = new URL('http://sample_site/report/file/list?f%5B%5D');
let query_string = url.search;
let search_params = new URLSearchParams(query_string);
search_params.set('f', 1111);
url.search = search_params.toString();
let new_url = url.toString();
return new_url;
}
The "%5B%5D" part is being treated as part of the parameter name. You have to add it to the param name that you're setting to get the result you want. That's the encoded value for the string "[]", so to get your result, the code should be:
buildTileFilter(){
let url = new URL('http://sample_site/report/file/list?f%5B%5D');
let query_string = url.search;
let search_params = new URLSearchParams(query_string);
search_params.set('f[]', 1111);
url.search = search_params.toString();
let new_url = url.toString();
return new_url;
}
I want to filter out a specific parameter out of the URL. I have the following situation:
The page got loaded (for example: http://test.com/default.aspx?folder=app&test=true)
When the page is loaded a function is called to push a entry to the history (pushState): ( for example: http://test.com/default.aspx?folder=app&test=true&state=1)
Now I want to call a function that reads all the parameters and output all these parameters expect for the state. So that I end up with: "?folder=app&test=true" (just a string value, no array or object). Please keep in mind that I do not know what all the names of the parameters are execpt for the state parameter
What I have tried
I know I can get all the parameters by using the following code:
window.location.search
But it will result in:
?folder=app&test=true&state=1
I try to split the url, for example:
var url = '?folder=app&test=true&state=1';
url = url.split('&state=');
console.log(url);
But that does not work. Also because the state number is dynamic in each request. A solution might be remove the last parameter out of the url but I also do not know if that ever will be the case therefore I need some filtering mechanisme that will only filter out the
state=/*regex for a number*/
To achieve this you can convert the querystring provided to the page to an object, remove the state property of the result - assuming it exists - then you can convert the object back to a querystring ready to use in pushState(). Something like this:
var qsToObj = function(qs) {
qs = qs.substring(1);
if (!qs) return {};
return qs.split("&").reduce(function(prev, curr, i, arr) {
var p = curr.split("=");
prev[decodeURIComponent(p[0])] = decodeURIComponent(p[1]);
return prev;
}, {});
}
var qs = '?'; // window.location.search;
var obj = qsToObj(qs);
delete obj.state;
console.log(obj);
var newQs = $.param(obj);
console.log(newQs);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Credit to this answer for the querystring to object logic.
I would agree with Rory's answer, you should have an object to safely manipulate params. This is the function that I use.
function urlParamsObj(source) {
/* function returns an object with url parameters
URL sample: www.test.com?var1=value1&var2=value2
USE: var params = URLparamsObj();
alert(params.var2) --> output: value2
You can use it for a url-like string also: urlParamsObj("www.ok.uk?a=2&b=3")*/
var urlStr = source ? source : window.location.search ? window.location.search : ""
if (urlStr.indexOf("?") > -1) { // if there are params in URL
var param_array = urlStr.substring(urlStr.indexOf("?") + 1).split('&'),
theLength = param_array.length,
params = {},
i = 0,
x;
for (; i < theLength; i++) {
x = param_array[i].toString().split('=');
params[x[0]] = x[1];
}
return params;
}
return {};
}
A much simpler way to do this would be:
let url = new URL(window.location.href)
url.searchParams.delete('state');
window.location.search = url.search;
You can read about URLSearchParams.delete() in the MDN Web Docs.
Sorry if this is wrong just as i think &state=1,2,3,4,5,6 is absolute its just depends on number to pick states just like my web
var url = '?folder=app&test=true&state=1';
url = url.substring(0, url.indexOf('&s'));
$('#demo').text(url);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span id='demo'></span>
var url = '?folder=app&test=true&state=1';
url = url.split('&folder=');
console.log(url);
In Javascript, how can I get the parameters of a URL string (not the current URL)?
http://localhost:8080/feasthunt/changePassword.html?TOKEN=0FA3267F-0C62-B1C9-DB71-76F6829671ED
can i get token in JSON object?
No need for a 'JSON' object, and just use split to grab it, since its after a '='
var url = 'http://localhost:8080/feasthunt/changePassword.html? TOKEN=0FA3267F-0C62-B1C9-DB71-76F6829671ED';
var token = url.split('=').pop();
//token is equal to: "0FA3267F-0C62-B1C9-DB71-76F6829671ED"
https://jsbin.com/siyazo/1/edit?js,console
try this
var str = "http://localhost:8080/feasthunt/changePassword.html?TOKEN=0FA3267F-0C62-B1C9-DB71-76F6829671ED";
var tokenValue = str.substring(str.indexOf("?")+1).split("=")[1];
Or more generic
var paramMap = {}; str.substring(str.indexOf("?")+1).split("&").forEach(function(val){
var param = val.split("=");
paramMap[param[0]] = param[1];
})
paramMap is your JSON object, where paramMap["TOKEN"] will give you the value for this param

How to get "GET" variables from request in JavaScript?
Does jQuery or YUI! have this feature built-in?
Update June 2021:
Today's browsers have built-in APIs for working with URLs (URL) and query strings (URLSearchParams) and these should be preferred, unless you need to support some old browsers or Opera mini (Browser support).
Original:
All data is available under
window.location.search
you have to parse the string, eg.
function get(name){
if(name=(new RegExp('[?&]'+encodeURIComponent(name)+'=([^&]*)')).exec(location.search))
return decodeURIComponent(name[1]);
}
just call the function with GET variable name as parameter, eg.
get('foo');
this function will return the variables value or undefined if variable has no value or doesn't exist
You could use jquery.url I did like this:
var xyz = jQuery.url.param("param_in_url");
Check the source code
Updated Source: https://github.com/allmarkedup/jQuery-URL-Parser
try the below code, it will help you get the GET parameters from url .
for more details.
var url_string = window.location.href; // www.test.com?filename=test
var url = new URL(url_string);
var paramValue = url.searchParams.get("filename");
alert(paramValue)
Just to put my two cents in, if you wanted an object containing all the requests
function getRequests() {
var s1 = location.search.substring(1, location.search.length).split('&'),
r = {}, s2, i;
for (i = 0; i < s1.length; i += 1) {
s2 = s1[i].split('=');
r[decodeURIComponent(s2[0]).toLowerCase()] = decodeURIComponent(s2[1]);
}
return r;
};
var QueryString = getRequests();
//if url === "index.html?test1=t1&test2=t2&test3=t3"
console.log(QueryString["test1"]); //logs t1
console.log(QueryString["test2"]); //logs t2
console.log(QueryString["test3"]); //logs t3
Note, the key for each get param is set to lower case. So, I made a helper function. So now it's case-insensitive.
function Request(name){
return QueryString[name.toLowerCase()];
}
Unlike other answers, the UrlSearchParams object can avoid using Regexes or other string manipulation and is available is most modern browsers:
var queryString = location.search
let params = new URLSearchParams(queryString)
// example of retrieving 'id' parameter
let id = parseInt(params.get("id"))
console.log(id)
You can use the URL to acquire the GET variables. In particular, window.location.search gives everything after (and including) the '?'. You can read more about window.location here.
A map-reduce solution:
var urlParams = location.search.split(/[?&]/).slice(1).map(function(paramPair) {
return paramPair.split(/=(.+)?/).slice(0, 2);
}).reduce(function (obj, pairArray) {
obj[pairArray[0]] = pairArray[1];
return obj;
}, {});
Usage:
For url: http://example.com?one=1&two=2
console.log(urlParams.one) // 1
console.log(urlParams.two) // 2
Today I needed to get the page's request parameters into a associative array so I put together the following, with a little help from my friends. It also handles parameters without an = as true.
With an example:
// URL: http://www.example.com/test.php?abc=123&def&xyz=&something%20else
var _GET = (function() {
var _get = {};
var re = /[?&]([^=&]+)(=?)([^&]*)/g;
while (m = re.exec(location.search))
_get[decodeURIComponent(m[1])] = (m[2] == '=' ? decodeURIComponent(m[3]) : true);
return _get;
})();
console.log(_GET);
> Object {abc: "123", def: true, xyz: "", something else: true}
console.log(_GET['something else']);
> true
console.log(_GET.abc);
> 123
You can parse the URL of the current page to obtain the GET parameters. The URL can be found by using location.href.
If you already use jquery there is a jquery plugin that handles this:
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/query-object
The function here returns the parameter by name. With tiny changes you will be able to return base url, parameter or anchor.
function getUrlParameter(name) {
var urlOld = window.location.href.split('?');
urlOld[1] = urlOld[1] || '';
var urlBase = urlOld[0];
var urlQuery = urlOld[1].split('#');
urlQuery[1] = urlQuery[1] || '';
var parametersString = urlQuery[0].split('&');
if (parametersString.length === 1 && parametersString[0] === '') {
parametersString = [];
}
// console.log(parametersString);
var anchor = urlQuery[1] || '';
var urlParameters = {};
jQuery.each(parametersString, function (idx, parameterString) {
paramName = parameterString.split('=')[0];
paramValue = parameterString.split('=')[1];
urlParameters[paramName] = paramValue;
});
return urlParameters[name];
}
Works for me in
url: http://localhost:8080/#/?access_token=111
function get(name){
const parts = window.location.href.split('?');
if (parts.length > 1) {
name = encodeURIComponent(name);
const params = parts[1].split('&');
const found = params.filter(el => (el.split('=')[0] === name) && el);
if (found.length) return decodeURIComponent(found[0].split('=')[1]);
}
}
