How to put javascript variable inside url() function?

Question

I've been twisting around my code for a couple of hours now but no luck in getting the right approach of putting a javascript variable inside laravel url(). The variable is taken as a string whenever I placed it as a parameter inside the url(). Below is my code. Please help.

javascript file

function generateSchedule( id, loan_type ){

          var txt_url;           

          if( loan_type == "Business" ){
            txt_url = 'addamortbusinessloan'; 
          }else{
            txt_url = 'addamortization';
          }


          $.post('{{ url("'+txt_url+'") }}', {'loanId':id}, function(data){


       },"json");

    }

This is not working {{ url("'+txt_url+'") }}. I have been twisting the quotes placement but no luck at all. The result of this is http://localhost:8000/txt_url. I want it to be like this http://localhost:8000/addamortbusinessloan or http://localhost:8000/addamortization

putting a javascript variable inside laravel url(). you can't this way. Your code above is a php template, I assume. But generateSchedule is called in the browser. So that txt_url variable doesn't exist in JavaScript at all, which is why your template engine renders the static value you see. — msanford

You do not need to put it in commas it works fine without comma. Check this

function generateSchedule( id, loan_type ){

          var txt_url;           

          if( loan_type == "Business" ){
            txt_url = "addamortbusinessloan"; 
          }else{
            txt_url = "addamortization";
          }

        var base_url="http://localhost:8000/"

        $.post( base_url+txt_url, {'loanId':id}, function( data ) {

         }, "json");

    }

Actually you can't but if you need you can define global variable into your app.blade file like this

var BASE_URL='{{url('')}}'
</script>

Or another way you can define it in meta tag in head like this: and in your javascript file you can get it by jquery $('meta[name=base_url]').attr('content')
