In a web application that makes use of AJAX calls, I need to submit a request but add a parameter to the end of the URL, for example:
Original URL:
Resulting URL:
http://server/myapp.php?id=10&enabled=true
Looking for a JavaScript function which parses the URL looking at each parameter, then adds the new parameter or updates the value if one already exists.
This was my own attempt, but I'll use the answer by annakata as it seems much cleaner:
function AddUrlParameter(sourceUrl, parameterName, parameterValue, replaceDuplicates)
{
if ((sourceUrl == null) || (sourceUrl.length == 0)) sourceUrl = document.location.href;
var urlParts = sourceUrl.split("?");
var newQueryString = "";
if (urlParts.length > 1)
{
var parameters = urlParts[1].split("&");
for (var i=0; (i < parameters.length); i++)
{
var parameterParts = parameters[i].split("=");
if (!(replaceDuplicates && parameterParts[0] == parameterName))
{
if (newQueryString == "")
newQueryString = "?";
else
newQueryString += "&";
newQueryString += parameterParts[0] + "=" + parameterParts[1];
}
}
}
if (newQueryString == "")
newQueryString = "?";
else
newQueryString += "&";
newQueryString += parameterName + "=" + parameterValue;
return urlParts[0] + newQueryString;
}
Also, I found this jQuery plugin from another post on stackoverflow, and if you need more flexibility you could use that: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/query-object
I would think the code would be (haven't tested):
return $.query.parse(sourceUrl).set(parameterName, parameterValue).toString();
