How to get GET request parameters in JavaScript?
Update June 2021:
Today's browsers have built-in APIs for working with URLs (URL) and query strings (URLSearchParams) and these should be preferred, unless you need to support some old browsers or Opera mini (Browser support).
Original:
All data is available under
window.location.search
you have to parse the string, eg.
function get(name){
if(name=(new RegExp('[?&]'+encodeURIComponent(name)+'=([^&]*)')).exec(location.search))
return decodeURIComponent(name[1]);
}
just call the function with GET variable name as parameter, eg.
get('foo');
this function will return the variables value or undefined if variable has no value or doesn't exist
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');
Original
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.
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');
Get the values from the GET parameters (JavaScript)
JavaScript itself has nothing built in for handling query string parameters.
Code running in a (modern) browser can use the URL
object (a Web API). URL
is also implemented by Node.js:
// You can get url_string from window.location.href if you want to work with
// the URL of the current page
var url_string = "http://www.example.com/t.html?a=1&b=3&c=m2-m3-m4-m5";
var url = new URL(url_string);
var c = url.searchParams.get("c");
console.log(c);
How to retrieve GET parameters from JavaScript
With the window.location object. This code gives you GET without the question mark.
window.location.search.substr(1)
From your example it will return returnurl=%2Fadmin
EDIT: I took the liberty of changing Qwerty's answer, which is really good, and as he pointed I followed exactly what the OP asked:
function findGetParameter(parameterName) {
var result = null,
tmp = [];
location.search
.substr(1)
.split("&")
.forEach(function (item) {
tmp = item.split("=");
if (tmp[0] === parameterName) result = decodeURIComponent(tmp[1]);
});
return result;
}
I removed the duplicated function execution from his code, replacing it a variable ( tmp ) and also I've added decodeURIComponent
, exactly as OP asked. I'm not sure if this may or may not be a security issue.
Or otherwise with plain for loop, which will work even in IE8:
function findGetParameter(parameterName) {
var result = null,
tmp = [];
var items = location.search.substr(1).split("&");
for (var index = 0; index < items.length; index++) {
tmp = items[index].split("=");
if (tmp[0] === parameterName) result = decodeURIComponent(tmp[1]);
}
return result;
}
How to get to request parameters in Postman?
If you want to extract the query string in URL encoded format without parsing it. Here is how to do it:
pm.request.url.getQueryString() // example output: foo=1&bar=2&baz=3
Setting query string using Fetch GET request
Update March 2017:
URL.searchParams support has officially landed in Chrome 51, but other browsers still require a polyfill.
The official way to work with query parameters is just to add them onto the URL. From the spec, this is an example:
var url = new URL("https://geo.example.org/api"),
params = {lat:35.696233, long:139.570431}
Object.keys(params).forEach(key => url.searchParams.append(key, params[key]))
fetch(url).then(/* … */)
However, I'm not sure Chrome supports the searchParams
property of a URL (at the time of writing) so you might want to either use a third party library or roll-your-own solution.
Update April 2018:
With the use of URLSearchParams constructor you could assign a 2D array or a object and just assign that to the url.search
instead of looping over all keys and append them
var url = new URL('https://sl.se')
var params = {lat:35.696233, long:139.570431} // or:
var params = [['lat', '35.696233'], ['long', '139.570431']]
url.search = new URLSearchParams(params).toString();
fetch(url)
Sidenote: URLSearchParams
is also available in NodeJS
const { URL, URLSearchParams } = require('url');
How to pass parameters in GET requests with jQuery
Use data option of ajax. You can send data object to server by data
option in ajax and the type
which defines how you are sending it (either POST
or GET
). The default type is GET
method
Try this
$.ajax({
url: "ajax.aspx",
type: "get", //send it through get method
data: {
ajaxid: 4,
UserID: UserID,
EmailAddress: EmailAddress
},
success: function(response) {
//Do Something
},
error: function(xhr) {
//Do Something to handle error
}
});
And you can get the data by (if you are using PHP)
$_GET['ajaxid'] //gives 4
$_GET['UserID'] //gives you the sent userid
In aspx, I believe it is (might be wrong)
Request.QueryString["ajaxid"].ToString();
How to retrieve query parameters from GET request using javascript?
If this is on the client you can use URL and searchParams
// const url = new URL(location.href); // uncomment and delete next line
const url = new URL("https://sdkapp.example.com:8443/central-login/index.html?client_id=dtvClient&redirect_uri=https://www.example3.com:443/callback"); // for example
const obj = {
"clientId": url.searchParams.get("client_id"),
"redirectUri": url.searchParams.get("redirect_uri")
};
console.log(obj)
// Config.set(obj)
Getting the url parameters inside the html page
A nice solution is given here:
function GetURLParameter(sParam)
{
var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1);
var sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++)
{
var sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
if (sParameterName[0] == sParam)
{
return sParameterName[1];
}
}
}
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');`
