Get URL Parameters using jQuery

url

In jQuery, you can easily get URL parameters using the URLSearchParams object or by manually parsing the URL string. Let me show you both methods:

  1. Using URLSearchParams:

This method is the easiest and recommended way to get URL parameters in modern browsers that support the URLSearchParams API.

htmlCopy code<!-- Let's assume the URL is something like: http://example.com/?param1=value1&param2=value2 -->

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    // Get the URL parameters
    const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);

    // Get the value of a specific parameter
    const param1Value = urlParams.get('param1');
    const param2Value = urlParams.get('param2');

    // Now you can use these values as needed
    console.log('param1Value:', param1Value);
    console.log('param2Value:', param2Value);
  });
</script>
  1. Manually parsing the URL:

If you need to support older browsers that don’t have the URLSearchParams API, you can manually parse the URL using JavaScript and jQuery.

htmlCopy code<!-- Let's assume the URL is something like: http://example.com/?param1=value1&param2=value2 -->

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    // Function to get URL parameters
    function getURLParameter(name) {
      const url = new URL(window.location.href);
      const param = url.searchParams.get(name);
      return param;
    }

    // Get the value of a specific parameter
    const param1Value = getURLParameter('param1');
    const param2Value = getURLParameter('param2');

    // Now you can use these values as needed
    console.log('param1Value:', param1Value);
    console.log('param2Value:', param2Value);
  });
</script>

Both of these methods will allow you to retrieve and use the values of the URL parameters in your jQuery code. Remember to replace the example URL (http://example.com/?param1=value1&param2=value2) with your actual URL to test the code with real parameters.
