I needed this function this morning so I thought I’d share it in case someone else does too.
function RemoveBaseUrl(url) {
/*
* Replace base URL in given string, if it exists, and return the result.
*
* e.g. "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/blah/" becomes "/api/v1/blah/"
* "/api/v1/blah/" stays "/api/v1/blah/"
*/
var baseUrlPattern = /^https?:\/\/[a-z\:0-9.]+/;
var result = "";
var match = baseUrlPattern.exec(url);
if (match != null) {
result = match[0];
}
if (result.length > 0) {
url = url.replace(result, "");
}
return url;
}
very interesting tutorial. Thanks for sharing this.
doesn’t work with a dash in url
