Check how many times query param exists in url, if beginning with certain characters

July 19, 2022

I wanted to check how many times, a query param exists in a URL, which begins with org.

For example: www.myurl.com/booking?org[0]=LGW&org[1]=LTN&org[2]=SEN&org[3]=STN

Sometimes the URL might contain org once. Sometimes it maybe 10 times. Basically, How can I loop through the url. But it will always be org[number]=value

Here’s a solution I have tried which works. Is there a better way to do this?

let url1 = new URL(window.location.href);
let searchParams = Array.from(url1.searchParams);
let searchParamsUniqueKeys = [];

for (const p of searchParams) {
    if (p[0].substring(0, 3) == "org") {
        console.log("p", p[0])
    }
}

This console.logs:

p org[0]
p org[1]
p org[2]
p org[3]

But adding .length as below, console.logs 6. Not sure why…

let url1 = new URL(window.location.href);
let searchParams = Array.from(url1.searchParams);
let searchParamsUniqueKeys = [];

for (const p of searchParams) {
    if (p[0].substring(0, 3) == "org") {
        console.log("p", p[0].length)
    }
}

>Solution :

You can use a code like that:

let url = new URL('https://www.myurl.com/?booking&org[0]=LGW&org[1]=LTN&org[2]=SEN&org[3]=STN');
console.log([...url.searchParams].map(el => el.includes('org')).length);
