Is there a built-in way to get the current URL without any query parameters?

Question

If my URL is http://www.something.com/foo/bar/index.html?color=yellow&animal=rat, it seems as though:

• $location.path() will return foo/bar/index.html
• $location.absUrl() will return http://www.something.com/foo/bar/index.html?color=yellow&animal=rat
• $location.url() will return foo/bar/index.html?color=yellow&animal=rat

Is there any function which will return http://www.something.com/foo/bar/index.html?

Or do I have to construct that myself with functions like protcol, host, port, etc. (or strip the query params off myself)?

Answer 1

As far as I'm aware you have to construct it yourself. Not that you were asking how to construct it, but for those who are wondering:

var url = $location.absUrl().split('?')[0]

Answer 2

Not that this eliminates the need to construct it by yourself, just another way to do the same. If you use window.location object, you can just say window.location.origin+window.location.pathname

window.location object has

host:"localhost.abc.com:8080"
hostname:"localhost.abc.com"
href:"http://localhost.abc.com:8080/quickpick/repossessions/?displayStr=Repossessions&from=%2F&page=1"(whole url)

origin:"http://localhost.abc.com:8080"
pathname:"/quickpick/repossessions/"
port:"8080"
protocol:"http:"
