How can I get query string values in JavaScript?
Update: Jan-2022
Using Proxy()
is faster than using Object.fromEntries()
and better supported
const params = new Proxy(new URLSearchParams(window.location.search), {
get: (searchParams, prop) => searchParams.get(prop),
});
// Get the value of "some_key" in eg "https://example.com/?some_key=some_value"
let value = params.some_key; // "some_value"
Update: June-2021
For a specific case when you need all query params:
const urlSearchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const params = Object.fromEntries(urlSearchParams.entries());
Update: Sep-2018
You can use URLSearchParams which is simple and has decent (but not complete) browser support.
const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const myParam = urlParams.get('myParam');

You don't need jQuery for that purpose. You can use just some pure JavaScript:
function getParameterByName(name, url = window.location.href) {
name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, '\\$&');
var regex = new RegExp('[?&]' + name + '(=([^]*)|&|#|$)'),
results = regex.exec(url);
if (!results) return null;
if (!results[2]) return '';
return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
}
Usage:
// query string: ?foo=lorem&bar=&baz
var foo = getParameterByName('foo'); // "lorem"
var bar = getParameterByName('bar'); // "" (present with empty value)
var baz = getParameterByName('baz'); // "" (present with no value)
var qux = getParameterByName('qux'); // null (absent)
NOTE: If a parameter is present several times (?foo=lorem&foo=ipsum
), you will get the first value (lorem
). There is no standard about this and usages vary, see for example this question: Authoritative position of duplicate HTTP GET query keys.
NOTE: The function is case-sensitive. If you prefer case-insensitive parameter name, add 'i' modifier to RegExp
NOTE: If you're getting a no-useless-escape eslint error, you can replace name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, '\\$&');
with name = name.replace(/[[\]]/g, '\\$&')
.
This is an update based on the new URLSearchParams specs to achieve the same result more succinctly. See answer titled "URLSearchParams" below.
Get query string parameters url values with jQuery / Javascript (querystring)
After years of ugly string parsing, there's a better way: URLSearchParams Let's have a look at how we can use this new API to get values from the location!
//Assuming URL has "?post=1234&action=edit"
var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
console.log(urlParams.has('post')); // true
console.log(urlParams.get('action')); // "edit"
console.log(urlParams.getAll('action')); // ["edit"]
console.log(urlParams.toString()); // "?post=1234&action=edit"
console.log(urlParams.append('active', '1')); // "?
post=1234&action=edit&active=1"
UPDATE : IE is not supported
use this function from an answer below instead of URLSearchParams
$.urlParam = function (name) {
var results = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^]*)')
.exec(window.location.search);
return (results !== null) ? results[1] || 0 : false;
}
console.log($.urlParam('action')); //edit
How to get URL parameter using jQuery or plain JavaScript?
Best solution here.
var getUrlParameter = function getUrlParameter(sParam) {
var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1),
sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&'),
sParameterName,
i;
for (i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) {
sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
if (sParameterName[0] === sParam) {
return sParameterName[1] === undefined ? true : decodeURIComponent(sParameterName[1]);
}
}
return false;
};
And this is how you can use this function assuming the URL is,http://dummy.com/?technology=jquery&blog=jquerybyexample
.
var tech = getUrlParameter('technology');
var blog = getUrlParameter('blog');
How can I get query string parameter in Javascript or jQuery?
Suppose you have URL with many params eg:-
"http://localhost:8162/UI/Link2.aspx?txt_temp=123abc&a=1&b=2"
Then in js you can do like:
var url = "http://localhost:8162/UI/Link2.aspx?txt_temp=123abc&a=1&b=2"
OR
var url = window.location.href
then split main url like:
hashes = url.split("?")[1]
//hashes holds this output "txt_temp=123abc&a=1&b=2"
Then again you can split by & to get individual param
EDIT
Check this example:
function getUrlVars() {
var url = "http://localhost:8162/UI/Link2.aspx?txt_temp=123abc&a=1&b=2";
var vars = {};
var hashes = url.split("?")[1];
var hash = hashes.split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < hash.length; i++) {
params=hash[i].split("=");
vars[params[0]] = params[1];
}
return vars;
}
Output
getUrlVars()
Object {txt_temp: "123abc", a: "1", b: "2"}
Get querystring from URL using jQuery
From: http://jquery-howto.blogspot.com/2009/09/get-url-parameters-values-with-jquery.html
This is what you need :)
The following code will return a JavaScript Object containing the URL parameters:
// Read a page's GET URL variables and return them as an associative array.
function getUrlVars()
{
var vars = [], hash;
var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
{
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
vars.push(hash[0]);
vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
}
return vars;
}
For example, if you have the URL:
http://www.example.com/?me=myValue&name2=SomeOtherValue
This code will return:
{
"me" : "myValue",
"name2" : "SomeOtherValue"
}
and you can do:
var me = getUrlVars()["me"];
var name2 = getUrlVars()["name2"];
