How can I check if a string ends with a particular character in JavaScript?
Example: I have a string
var str = \"mystring#\";
I want to know if that string is ending with #
. How can I check it?
Is there a
endsWith()
method in JavaScript?One solution I have is take the length of the string and get the last character and check it.
Is this the best way or there is any other way?

UPDATE (Nov 24th, 2015):
This answer is originally posted in the year 2010 (SIX years back.) so please take note of these insightful comments:
Shauna - Update for Googlers - Looks like ECMA6 adds this function. The MDN article also shows a polyfill. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/endsWith
T.J. Crowder - Creating substrings isn't expensive on modern browsers; it may well have been in 2010 when this answer was posted. These days, the simple
this.substr(-suffix.length) === suffix
approach is fastest on Chrome, the same on IE11 as indexOf, and only 4% slower (fergetaboutit territory) on Firefox: jsperf.com/endswith-stackoverflow/14 And faster across the board when the result is false: jsperf.com/endswith-stackoverflow-when-false Of course, with ES6 adding endsWith, the point is moot. :-)
ORIGINAL ANSWER:
I know this is a year old question... but I need this too and I need it to work cross-browser so... combining everyone's answer and comments and simplifying it a bit:
String.prototype.endsWith = function(suffix) {
return this.indexOf(suffix, this.length - suffix.length) !== -1;
};
- Doesn't create a substring
- Uses native
indexOf
function for fastest results - Skip unnecessary comparisons using the second parameter of
indexOf
to skip ahead - Works in Internet Explorer
- NO Regex complications
Also, if you don't like stuffing things in native data structure's prototypes, here's a standalone version:
function endsWith(str, suffix) {
return str.indexOf(suffix, str.length - suffix.length) !== -1;
}
EDIT: As noted by @hamish in the comments, if you want to err on the safe side and check if an implementation has already been provided, you can just adds a typeof
check like so:
if (typeof String.prototype.endsWith !== 'function') {
String.prototype.endsWith = function(suffix) {
return this.indexOf(suffix, this.length - suffix.length) !== -1;
};
}
回答2:
/#$/.test(str)
will work on all browsers, doesn't require monkey patching String
, and doesn't require scanning the entire string as lastIndexOf
does when there is no match.
If you want to match a constant string that might contain regular expression special characters, such as '$'
, then you can use the following:
function makeSuffixRegExp(suffix, caseInsensitive) {
return new RegExp(
String(suffix).replace(/[$%()*+.?\[\\\]{|}]/g, "\\$&") + "$",
caseInsensitive ? "i" : "");
}
and then you can use it like this
makeSuffixRegExp("a[complicated]*suffix*").test(str)
回答3:
- Unfortunately not.
if( "mystring#".substr(-1) === "#" ) {}
回答4:
Come on, this is the correct endsWith
implementation:
String.prototype.endsWith = function (s) {
return this.length >= s.length && this.substr(this.length - s.length) == s;
}
using lastIndexOf
just creates unnecessary CPU loops if there is no match.
回答5:
This version avoids creating a substring, and doesn't use regular expressions (some regex answers here will work; others are broken):
String.prototype.endsWith = function(str)
{
var lastIndex = this.lastIndexOf(str);
return (lastIndex !== -1) && (lastIndex + str.length === this.length);
}
If performance is important to you, it would be worth testing whether lastIndexOf
is actually faster than creating a substring or not. (It may well depend on the JS engine you're using...) It may well be faster in the matching case, and when the string is small - but when the string is huge it needs to look back through the whole thing even though we don't really care :(
For checking a single character, finding the length and then using charAt
is probably the best way.
回答6:
Didn't see apporach with slice
method. So i'm just leave it here:
function endsWith(str, suffix) {
return str.slice(-suffix.length) === suffix
}
回答7:
return this.lastIndexOf(str) + str.length == this.length;
does not work in the case where original string length is one less than search string length and the search string is not found:
lastIndexOf returns -1, then you add search string length and you are left with the original string's length.
A possible fix is
return this.length >= str.length && this.lastIndexOf(str) + str.length == this.length

From developer.mozilla.org String.prototype.endsWith()
Summary
The endsWith()
method determines whether a string ends with the characters of another string, returning true or false as appropriate.
Syntax
str.endsWith(searchString [, position]);
Parameters
searchString : The characters to be searched for at the end of this string.
position : Search within this string as if this string were only this long; defaults to this string's actual length, clamped within the range established by this string's length.
Description
This method lets you determine whether or not a string ends with another string.
Examples
var str = "To be, or not to be, that is the question.";
alert( str.endsWith("question.") ); // true
alert( str.endsWith("to be") ); // false
alert( str.endsWith("to be", 19) ); // true
Specifications
ECMAScript Language Specification 6th Edition (ECMA-262)
Browser compatibility

if( ("mystring#").substr(-1,1) == '#' )
-- Or --
if( ("mystring#").match(/#$/) )
回答10:
String.prototype.endsWith = function(str)
{return (this.match(str+"$")==str)}
String.prototype.startsWith = function(str)
{return (this.match("^"+str)==str)}
I hope this helps
var myStr = “ Earth is a beautiful planet ”;
var myStr2 = myStr.trim();
//==“Earth is a beautiful planet”;
if (myStr2.startsWith(“Earth”)) // returns TRUE
if (myStr2.endsWith(“planet”)) // returns TRUE
if (myStr.startsWith(“Earth”))
// returns FALSE due to the leading spaces…
if (myStr.endsWith(“planet”))
// returns FALSE due to trailing spaces…
the traditional way
function strStartsWith(str, prefix) {
return str.indexOf(prefix) === 0;
}
function strEndsWith(str, suffix) {
return str.match(suffix+"$")==suffix;
}
回答11:
I don't know about you, but:
var s = "mystring#";
s.length >= 1 && s[s.length - 1] == '#'; // will do the thing!
Why regular expressions? Why messing with the prototype? substr? c'mon...
回答12:
If you're using lodash:
_.endsWith('abc', 'c'); // true
If not using lodash, you can borrow from its source.
回答13:
Just another quick alternative that worked like a charm for me, using regex:
// Would be equivalent to:
// "Hello World!".endsWith("World!")
"Hello World!".match("World!$") != null
回答14:
I just learned about this string library:
http://stringjs.com/
Include the js file and then use the S
variable like this:
S('hi there').endsWith('hi there')
It can also be used in NodeJS by installing it:
npm install string
Then requiring it as the S
variable:
var S = require('string');
The web page also has links to alternate string libraries, if this one doesn't take your fancy.
回答15:
function strEndsWith(str,suffix) {
var reguex= new RegExp(suffix+'$');
if (str.match(reguex)!=null)
return true;
return false;
}
回答16:
So many things for such a small problem, just use this Regular Expression
var str = "mystring#";
var regex = /^.*#$/
if (regex.test(str)){
//if it has a trailing '#'
}
回答17:
Its been many years for this question. Let me add an important update for the users who wants to use the most voted chakrit's answer.
'endsWith' functions is already added to JavaScript as part of ECMAScript 6 (experimental technology)
Refer it here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/endsWith
Hence it is highly recommended to add check for the existence of native implementation as mentioned in the answer.
回答18:
function check(str)
{
var lastIndex = str.lastIndexOf('/');
return (lastIndex != -1) && (lastIndex == (str.length - 1));
}
回答19:
A way to future proof and/or prevent overwriting of existing prototype would be test check to see if it has already been added to the String prototype. Here's my take on the non-regex highly rated version.
if (typeof String.endsWith !== 'function') {
String.prototype.endsWith = function (suffix) {
return this.indexOf(suffix, this.length - suffix.length) !== -1;
};
}
回答20:
@chakrit's accepted answer is a solid way to do it yourself. If, however, you're looking for a packaged solution, I recommend taking a look at underscore.string, as @mlunoe pointed out. Using underscore.string, the code would be:
function endsWithHash(str) {
return _.str.endsWith(str, '#');
}
回答21:
if you dont want to use lasIndexOf or substr then why not just look at the string in its natural state (ie. an array)
String.prototype.endsWith = function(suffix) {
if (this[this.length - 1] == suffix) return true;
return false;
}
or as a standalone function
function strEndsWith(str,suffix) {
if (str[str.length - 1] == suffix) return true;
return false;
}
回答22:
String.prototype.endWith = function (a) {
var isExp = a.constructor.name === "RegExp",
val = this;
if (isExp === false) {
a = escape(a);
val = escape(val);
} else
a = a.toString().replace(/(^\/)|(\/$)/g, "");
return eval("/" + a + "$/.test(val)");
}
// example
var str = "Hello";
alert(str.endWith("lo"));
alert(str.endWith(/l(o|a)/));

After all those long tally of answers, i found this piece of code simple and easy to understand!
function end(str, target) {
return str.substr(-target.length) == target;
}
回答24:
This is the implementation of endsWith :
String.prototype.endsWith = function (str) { return this.length >= str.length && this.substr(this.length - str.length) == str; }
回答25:

String.prototype.endsWith = function (str) {

回答26:
This builds on @charkit's accepted answer allowing either an Array of strings, or string to passed in as an argument.
if (typeof String.prototype.endsWith === 'undefined') {
String.prototype.endsWith = function(suffix) {
if (typeof suffix === 'String') {
return this.indexOf(suffix, this.length - suffix.length) !== -1;
}else if(suffix instanceof Array){
return _.find(suffix, function(value){
console.log(value, (this.indexOf(value, this.length - value.length) !== -1));
return this.indexOf(value, this.length - value.length) !== -1;
}, this);
}
};
}
This requires underscorejs - but can probably be adjusted to remove the underscore dependency.
回答27:
if(typeof String.prototype.endsWith !== "function") {
/**

String.prototype.endsWith = function(substring, position) {
substring = String(substring);
var subLen = substring.length | 0;
if( !subLen )return true;//Empty string
var strLen = this.length;
if( position === void 0 )position = strLen;
else position = position | 0;
if( position < 1 )return false;
var fromIndex = (strLen < position ? strLen : position) - subLen;
return (fromIndex >= 0 || subLen === -fromIndex)
&& (
position === 0
// if position not at the and of the string, we can optimise search substring
// by checking first symbol of substring exists in search position in current string
|| this.charCodeAt(fromIndex) === substring.charCodeAt(0)//fast false
)
&& this.indexOf(substring, fromIndex) === fromIndex
;
};
}
Benefits:
- This version is not just re-using indexOf.
- Greatest performance on long strings. Here is a speed test http://jsperf.com/starts-ends-with/4
- Fully compatible with ecmascript specification. It passes the tests
回答28:
Do not use regular expressions. They are slow even in fast languages. Just write a function that checks the end of a string. This library has nice examples: groundjs/util.js. Be careful adding a function to String.prototype. This code has nice examples of how to do it: groundjs/prototype.js In general, this is a nice language-level library: groundjs You can also take a look at lodash
回答29:
all of them are very useful examples. Adding String.prototype.endsWith = function(str)
will help us to simply call the method to check if our string ends with it or not, well regexp will also do it.
I found a better solution than mine. Thanks every one.

For coffeescript
String::endsWith = (suffix) ->
-1 != @indexOf suffix, @length - suffix.length
