Split URL string to get each parameter value in javascript

Question

var url = "journey?reference=123line=A&destination=China&operator=Belbo&departure=1043&vehicle=ARC"

How can I split the string above so that I get each parameter's value??

Answer 1

You could use the split function to extract the parameter pairs. First trim the stuff before and including the ?, then split the & and after that loop though that and split the =.

var url = "journey?reference=123line=A&destination=China&operator=Belbo&departure=1043&vehicle=ARC";

var queryparams = url.split('?')[1];

var params = queryparams.split('&');

var pair = null,
    data = [];

params.forEach(function(d) {
    pair = d.split('=');
    data.push({key: pair[0], value: pair[1]});

});

Try this:

var myurl = "journey?reference=123&line=A&destination=China&operator=Belbo&departure=1043&vehicle=ARC";
var keyval = myurl.split('?')[1].split('&');
for(var x=0,y=keyval.length; x<y; x+=1)
console.log(keyval[x], keyval[x].split('=')[0], keyval[x].split('=')[1]);

to split line in JS u should use:

var location = location.href.split('&');
