How to get the URL without any parameters in JavaScript?

Question

If I use:

alert(window.location.href);

I get everything including query strings. Is there a way to just get the main url part, for example:

Answer 1

This is possible, but you'll have to build it manually from the location object:

location.protocol + '//' + location.host + location.pathname

Answer 2

Use indexOf

var url = "http://mysite.com/somedir/somefile/?aa";

if (url.indexOf("?")>-1){
url = url.substr(0,url.indexOf("?"));
}

Answer 3

Just one more alternative using URL

var theUrl = new URL(window.location.href);
theUrl.search = ""; //Remove any params
theUrl //as URL object
theUrl.href //as a string
