Check if URL contains string in javascript

Published On: 28/10/2021

To check if URL contains any given string in javascript we can use the indexOf method.

At first we have to get the current URL using this code window.location.href.

Then we will find the given string usein below method.

This solution will work in ES5 and above.

Copy
if(window.location.href.indexOf('any-given-string') > -1) {
    // string found
} else {
    // not found
}

Or using the includes method, we can also check like below. This solution works only in ES6 and above.

Copy
if(window.location.href.includes('any-given-string') === true) {
    // string found
} else {
    // not found
}

Thanks for reading.
