You can get the hash value:

window.location.hash

If you want it without the # use:

window.location.hash.substring(1)

Use split

console.log('www.example.com/about_us#company_branding'.split('#')[1])

var a = window.location.href;
console.log(a.split('#')[1]);

You could use substring.

const hash = window.location.hash;
console.log(hash.substring(1));

This returns the part of the string after the index 1

Try

var a = 'abc.com/blog/seo-google-123';
console.log(a.split('-').pop());

Result: 123

although you can directly get hash value of URL by window.location.hash
