Given an href like:
http://localhost:8888/#!/path/somevalue/needthis
How can I get the last value in the path string (aka: "needthis")?
I tried using window.location.pathname, which gives "/".
I also tried using Angular's $location, which doesn't provide the last value.
you can try this:
s="http://localhost:8888/#!/path/somevalue/needthis"
var final = s.substr(s.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
alert(final)
window.location.pathname.split("/").pop()
Since you are using angularjs, you can use:
$location.path().split('/').pop();
what I would do is make a function that takes an index of what part you want.. that way you can get any part anytime
getPathPart = function(index){
if (index === undefined)
index = 0;
var path = window.location.pathname,
parts = path.split('/');
if (parts && parts.length > 1)
parts = (parts || []).splice(1);
return parts.length > index ? parts[index] : null;
}
with this you can of course make changes like a getLastIndex flag that when true you can return that..
getPathPart = function(index, getLastIndex){
if (index === undefined)
index = 0;
var path = window.location.pathname,
parts = path.split('/');
if (parts && parts.length > 1)
parts = (parts || []).splice(1);
if(getLastIndex){
return parts[parts.length - 1]
}
return parts.length > index ? parts[index] : null;
}
Reverse the string, then do a substring from the beginning of the reversed string to the first occurrence of "/" .
Something like this:
var string = "http://localhost:8888/#!/path/somevalue/needthis";
var segments = string.split("/");
var last = segments[segments.length-1];
console.log(last);You could also use a regular expression for this:
var fullPath = 'http://localhost:8888/#!/path/somevalue/needthis',
result = fullPath.match(/(\w*)$/gi),
path = (result)? result[0] : '';
this way path would have the last chunk of text from the URL
