How to get the last part of url AngularJS

Question

How to build the function in AngularJS to chceck the last part of the url?

My examples:

#/menu1/123/edit

#/menu2/444/create/new<

Answer 1

This should give you the desired result:

window.alert(window.location.href.substr(window.location.href.lastIndexOf('/') + 1));

You could get the current URL by using: window.location.href Then you only need to get the part after the last '/'

Answer 2

More efficient way:

location.pathname.split('/').slice(-1)[0]

In case of http://example.com/firstdir/seconddir/thirddir?queryparams#hash; it will give you thirddir

• pathname will keep only the part of url after domain name and before query params
• split will explode the url into array separated by /
• slice will give you array containing only the last item
• [0] will you last item as a string (in contrast to item of an array)
