How to get the URL without any parameters in JavaScript

Question

If I use:

alert(window.location.href);

I get everything including query strings. Is there a way to just get the main url part, for example:

http://edureka.co/somedir/somefile/

instead of

http://edureka.co/somedir/somefile/?foo=bar&loo=goo

Hello @kartik,

This is possible, but you'll have to build it manually from the location object:

location.protocol + '//' + location.host + location.pathname

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
