Javascript to find if string terminates in a forward slash

Question

If I have a string loaded into a variable, what's the appropriate method to use to determine if the string ends in "/" forward slash?

var myString = jQuery("#myAnchorElement").attr("href");

Answer 1

A regex works, but if you want to avoid that whole cryptic syntax, here's something that should work: javascript/jquery add trailing slash to url (if not present)

var lastChar = url.substr(-1); // Selects the last character
if (lastChar !== '/') {         // If the last character is not a slash
   ...
}

Answer 2

Use regex and do:

myString.match(/\/$/)
