How to get the URL without any parameters in JavaScript?

Question

This is possible, but you'll have to build it manually from the location object:

location.protocol + '//' + location.host + location.pathname

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.

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]

Use indexOf

var url = "http://mysite.com/somedir/somefile/?aa";

if (url.indexOf("?")>-1){
url = url.substr(0,url.indexOf("?"));
}
