Get the Url of the Current Page Using JavaScript

To get the URL of the page you're currently on, JavaScript offers the Location
interface that is exposed by the global Window
object by your browser.
And you can access the Location
interface with:
window.location
And since Window
is a global object in the browser, you can access it using this also:
location
And if you want the href
of the current page, use this:
location.href
// "https://coderrocketfuel.com/article/get-the-url-of-the-current-page-using-javascript"
There are also a ton of other useful properties in the location object.
Here are some examples for the page you are currently on:
location.protocol // "https:"
location.host // "coderrocketfuel.com"
location.hostname // "coderrocketfuel.com"
location.port // ""
location.pathname // "/article/get-the-url-of-the-current-page-using-javascript"
location.origin // "https://coderrocketfuel.com"
You can read more about both the Window and Location interfaces on the Mozilla Developer Web Docs.
As always, thanks for reading and happy coding!
