How can I get query string values in JavaScript?

Question

Is there a plugin-less way of retrieving query string values via jQuery (or without)?

If so, how? If not, is there a plugin which can do so?

Answer 1

To getting the query string values in JavaScript you can use URLSearchParams which is simple and has good browser support. You can use the below-mentioned code:-

const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search); 

const myParam = urlParams.get('myParam');

You can directly use the JavaScript there is no need of JQuery see the below-mentioned code:-

function getParameterByName(name, url) {

if (!url) url = window.location.href; 

name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, '\\$&'); 

var regex = new RegExp('[?&]' + name + '(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)'), results = regex.exec(url); 

if (!results) return null; 

if (!results[2]) return ''; 

return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, ' ')); 

}
