URL: href property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2016.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The href property of the URL interface is
a string containing the whole URL.
Value
A string.
Examples
Full URL with path
js
const url = new URL(
"https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/href",
);
console.log(url.href); // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/href
Origin-only URL
For hierarchical schemes such as https:, the pathname must always be non-empty. When the URL has no path (for example, only an origin), the URL parser sets the pathname to "/", so href includes a trailing slash. See the pathname property for more details.
js
const url = new URL("https://developer.mozilla.org");
console.log(url.href); // https://developer.mozilla.org/
