How to split a url in javascript?

I have constructed a url path that are pointing to different hostname www.mysite.com, so for example:

var myMainSite = 'www.mymainsite.com' + '/somepath';

so this is equivalent to www.mymainsite.com/path/path/needthispath/somepath.

How I'm doing it now is like the code below and this gives me a bunch of indexes of the url in the console.log.

var splitUrl = myMainSite.split['/'];

console.log looks like:

0: //
1: www.
2: mysite.com
3: path
4: path
5: needthispath
6: somepath

and I concat them like splitUrl[5]+'/'+splitUrl[6] and it doesn't look pretty at all.

So my question is how to split/remove url location //www.mymainsite.com/ to get the url path needthispath/somepath in js? Is there a quicker and cleaner way of doing this?

To split a URL, use the split[] method. Use toString[] before that. Let us see an example

Example

var newURL="//www.example.com/index.html/homePage/aboutus/";
console.log[newURL];
var splitURL=newURL.toString[].split["/"];
console.log[splitURL];

Above, we have set forward slash in the split[] function, since we need to split the URL after every such slash.

To run the above program, you need to use the following command −

node fileName.js.

Output

Here, my file name is demo150.js. This will produce the following output −

PS C:\Users\Amit\JavaScript-code> node demo150.js
//www.example.com/index.html/homePage/aboutus/[
   '',
   '',
   'www.example.com',
   'index.html',
   'homePage',
   'aboutus',
   ''
]

  Break an address of an url and put it's part into an array.

function break_address[url_add] {
    var data = url_add.split["://"]
    var protocol = data[0];
    data = data[1].split[".com"];
    var domain = data[0];
    data = data[1].split["/"];

    if[data[1]]{
        return [protocol,domain,data[1]]
    }

    return [protocol,domain]
}

var url_add = "//www.w3resource.com/javascript-exercises/"
console.log["Original address: "+url_add]
console.log[break_address[url_add]]

Original address: //www.w3resource.com/javascript-exercises/
["https","www.w3resource","javascript-exercises"]

function break_address[url_add] {
    let data = url_add.split["://"];
    const protocol = data[0];
    data = data[1].split[".com"];
    const domain = data[0];
    data = data[1].split["/"];

    if[data[1]]{
        return [protocol,domain,data[1]]
    }

    return [protocol,domain]
}

var url_add = "//www.w3resource.com/javascript-exercises/"
console.log[`Original address: ${url_add}`]
console.log[break_address[url_add]]
