JavaScript parameters from URL

Question

var url = window.location.href;

result:

https://test.com/index.html?Event=90000002

how do I use Javascript to get 90000002 and put it in a variable?

the whole text including and after the `?` are in `window.location.search` — Jaromanda X, Dec 07 '16 at 10:12
There are various querystring functions on stack.. just search and pick one. — Lain, Dec 07 '16 at 10:13

`getParameterByName('Event')` would return 90000002, `window.location.search.substr(1)` would return Event=90000002 what is it that you don't understand about that? — Kevin Kloet, Dec 07 '16 at 10:16
good browsers have the `URL` object - look it up if you want to use it — Jaromanda X, Dec 07 '16 at 10:16
@KevinKloet No idea, guess my brain turned off. Needed someone to explain it to me. — Preamas, Dec 07 '16 at 10:19

You can use the .split() method

var data=url.split("=")[1]

Should return what you got after '='

Thanks! Way easier than the other answers. – Preamas Dec 07 '16 at 10:16
@Preamas it's easy I can see but what if you have multiple params? meaning multiple such pairs, not only one. – Sudhansu Choudhary Dec 07 '16 at 10:16
@SudhansuChoudhary I guess I would search for another answer. I only have one parameter, so for me this is the perfect answer. – Preamas Dec 07 '16 at 10:18
i would recommend getting the parameter by name like this: `getParameterByName('Event')` – Kevin Kloet Dec 07 '16 at 10:18

Though this is not optimized way but you can still do like this

Use location object and it's search property.

location.search will return ?Event=90000002. Then use substring to get the value

var a = location.search;
console.log(a.substring(7,a.length))
