URLSearchParams: get() method
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The get() method of the URLSearchParams
interface returns the first value associated to the given search parameter.
Syntax
js
get(name)
Parameters
name-
The name of the parameter to return.
Return value
A string if the given search parameter is found; otherwise,
null.
Examples
If the URL of your page is https://example.com/?name=Jonathan&age=18
you could parse out the 'name' and 'age' parameters using:
js
let params = new URLSearchParams(document.location.search);
let name = params.get("name"); // is the string "Jonathan"
let age = parseInt(params.get("age"), 10); // is the number 18
Requesting a parameter that isn't present in the query string will return
null:
js
let address = params.get("address"); // null
