Get base_url using Jquery in Laravel

Question

I am using laravel 5.0. I want to get base url of laravel page using jquery. I have tried the following function.

function getBaseURL () {
   return location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + (location.port && ":" + location.port) + "/";
}

But this gives only http://localhost. I need my full base url in jquery. What to do?

Answer 1

Do you mean you want the base url of your laravel app available anywhere your javascript?

You can include this in your template.blade.php:

<script type="text/javascript">
var APP_URL = {!! json_encode(url('/')) !!}
</script>

And than access that var anywhere in your javascript:

console.log(APP_URL);
