Looking for javascript to split URI

Here is my URI.

/v1/securemessages/members/{mbruid}?folder=Inbox

I want to split this URI using javascript and pass the value of mbruid to a stored procedure.

Here is my script. 

function getQueryParam(encUrl,pathverIndex){

    var url,reqURIParam;
    url=decodeURIComponent(encUrl);
    pathVarArr = url.split('/');
    reqURIParam =pathVarArr[pathverIndex];
    return reqURIParam;
}

mbruid = getQueryParam(tags["encURL"],4);

The problem is that I am getting {mbruid}?folder=Inbox instead of {mbruid}. Please help me modify my script so the only desired variable is returned.

Solution

  • A few ways to do this but here's one specific to your url:

    Working Example

    var x = url.split('?')[0].split('/').splice(-1);
