How to get current url along with query string in jQuery [duplicate]

Question

I want current url path along with its query string.

I have tried below but not getting desired output.

var pathname = window.location.pathname; // Returns path only
var url = window.location.href;

Note : query string is optional here if there is no query string then it should provide pathname only.

I want /Contact/Index?text=aa, TIA.

I got the answer its window.location.pathname+window.location.search.substr(1); — user3913222

In jQuery you can do

$(location).attr('href')

The location object also contains properties, like host, hash, protocol, and pathname.

So, why would you use that over location.href?

Because he asked for jQuery?

If I asked for a way to bake a cake with an industrial steel furnace, wouldn't you tell me to just use a normal oven?

No i woudn't. Because I would be curious how the cake tasted.

Rather "well done", probably.

This window.location.pathname will give you the path or the url.

It does not return the query string, he also wants that
