How to get base path in jQuery?

Question

window.location works fine, but returns me the full, absolute path, e.g. http://domain.xyz/punch/lines . But I only need http://domain.xyz/ . How can I extract only this first part? And how can I make this dynamic, I want to be always the same, even when the path of the subdirectory increases?

Answer 1

You can get the protocol and host separately, and then join them to get what you need

 window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + "/" 

As a support, window.location.pathname will contain the path.

Answer 2

You can use this operator

 var baseUrl = document.location.origin; 

Answer 3

Try the following:

 location.protocol + "//" + location.host
