How can i pass params in url like a path in javascript?

Question

How can I get the params from the URL path as we do in Django? For example if the url is domain.dom/userid, then we need userid as a param in js and redirect to domain.dom. Is this possible in javascript?

it will return the path of the current URL but won't redirect to the desired page like index.html or any other page, like if we go to the above mentioned url then it will return object not found rather than the path name. @mplungjan — Nishant Singhal

It is completely unclear what you want to achieve. Please elaborate what your expected behaviour is with relevant and detailed input and expected output. Do you mean location.replace("someurl") — mplungjan

Try this

let url =  new URL("https://domain.dom/freddy_user"); // new Url(location.href) 
const userid = url.pathname.slice(1);
url.pathname="index.html";
url.searchParams.set("userid",userid)
console.log(url); // location.replace(url)

on which page should i write this code so that object not found error is not shown

You put this in the head of the page that receives the userid- you uncomment my comments and remove the test strings

I have no idea what you mean

I have no idea how your server works. You were the one giving very little info on how you pass the userid. I just came up with something to not confuse userid=userid - it seems you need to play with htaccess instead of JavaScript

If you need the current URL and params, this could help you

I'am considering that the userID param is the first param like:

url.com/123

where 123 is the userID

//Get current base URL
let base_url = window.location.origin;

//Get userID or first param
//Change number 3 if your param is in another position
let userId = window.location.href.split("/")[3];
alert(userId);

//Redirect to base URL
window.location.href = base_url;

This can be achieved by redirecting through the .htaccess file and further

var path = location.pathname; var arr = path.split("/"); var name = arr[arr.length-1];

Hence, with this, we can achieve the parameters through the domain path in javascript.
