How to get the query string by javascript?

Question

How to extract the query string from the URL in javascript?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can use this Javascript :

function getParameterByName(name) {
    var match = RegExp('[?&]' + name + '=([^&]*)').exec(window.location.search);
    return match && decodeURIComponent(match[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
}

OR

You can also use the plugin jQuery-URL-Parser allows to retrieve all parts of URL, including anchor, host, etc.

Usage is very simple and cool:

$.url().param("itemID")

Very Straightforward!

function parseQueryString(){
    var assoc = {};
    var keyValues = location.search.slice(1).split('&');
    var decode = function(s){
        return decodeURIComponent(s.replace(/\+/g, ' '));
    };

    for (var i = 0; i < keyValues.length; ++i) {
        var key = keyValues[i].split('=');
        if (1 < key.length) {
            assoc[decode(key[0])] = decode(key[1]);
        }
    }

    return assoc;
}

Answer 3

You need to simple use following function.

function GetQueryStringByParameter(name) {
        name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
        var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
        results = regex.exec(location.search);
        return results == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
    }

--- How to Use ---

var QueryString= GetQueryStringByParameter('QueryString');

Answer 4

Works for me-

function querySt(Key) {

    var url = window.location.href;

    KeysValues = url.split(/[\?&]+/); 

    for (i = 0; i < KeysValues.length; i++) {

            KeyValue= KeysValues[i].split("=");

            if (KeyValue[0] == Key) {

                return KeyValue[1];

        }

    }

}

function GetQString(Key) {     

    if (querySt(Key)) {

         var value = querySt(Key);

         return value;        

    }

 }

I have use this method

function getString()
{
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;
}
var buisnessArea = getString();

You can easily build a dictionary style collection...

function getQueryStrings() { 
  var assoc  = {};
  var decode = function (s) { return decodeURIComponent(s.replace(/\+/g, " ")); };
  var queryString = location.search.substring(1); 
  var keyValues = queryString.split('&'); 

  for(var i in keyValues) { 
    var key = keyValues[i].split('=');
    if (key.length > 1) {
      assoc[decode(key[0])] = decode(key[1]);
    }
  } 

  return assoc; 
} 

And use it like this...

var qs = getQueryStrings();
var myParam = qs["myParam"];
