Remove a parameter to the URL with JavaScript [duplicate]

Original URL:

http://yourewebsite.php?id=10&color_id=1

Resulting URL:

http://yourewebsite.php?id=10

I got the function adding Param

function insertParam(key, value){
    key = escape(key); value = escape(value);
    var kvp = document.location.search.substr(1).split('&');
    var i=kvp.length; var x; while(i--) 
    {
        x = kvp[i].split('=');

        if (x[0]==key)
        {
            x[1] = value;
            kvp[i] = x.join('=');
            break;
        }
    }
    if(i<0) {kvp[kvp.length] = [key,value].join('=');}

    //this will reload the page, it's likely better to store this until finished
    document.location.search = kvp.join('&'); 
}

but I need to function to remove Param


Solution 1:

Try this. Just pass in the param you want to remove from the URL and the original URL value, and the function will strip it out for you.

function removeParam(key, sourceURL) {
    var rtn = sourceURL.split("?")[0],
        param,
        params_arr = [],
        queryString = (sourceURL.indexOf("?") !== -1) ? sourceURL.split("?")[1] : "";
    if (queryString !== "") {
        params_arr = queryString.split("&");
        for (var i = params_arr.length - 1; i >= 0; i -= 1) {
            param = params_arr[i].split("=")[0];
            if (param === key) {
                params_arr.splice(i, 1);
            }
        }
        if (params_arr.length) rtn = rtn + "?" + params_arr.join("&");
    }
    return rtn;
}

To use it, simply do something like this:

var originalURL = "http://yourewebsite.com?id=10&color_id=1";
var alteredURL = removeParam("color_id", originalURL);

The var alteredURL will be the output you desire.

Hope it helps!

Solution 2:

function removeParam(parameter)
{
  var url=document.location.href;
  var urlparts= url.split('?');

 if (urlparts.length>=2)
 {
  var urlBase=urlparts.shift(); 
  var queryString=urlparts.join("?"); 

  var prefix = encodeURIComponent(parameter)+'=';
  var pars = queryString.split(/[&;]/g);
  for (var i= pars.length; i-->0;)               
      if (pars[i].lastIndexOf(prefix, 0)!==-1)   
          pars.splice(i, 1);
  url = urlBase+'?'+pars.join('&');
  window.history.pushState('',document.title,url); // added this line to push the new url directly to url bar .

}
return url;
}

This will resolve your problem
