Insert string to url and redirect

Is it possible to insert a stringi into url? Lets say I want www.domain.com/news to insert language flag de between com and news

Solution

  • If you have a full url string that includes protocol or you know the base url or if this is all based on current location you can use the URL API

    const url = new URL('http://www.example.com/news');
url.pathname = '/de' + url.pathname;
console.log(url.href);

// using current page `location`
const pageurl = new URL(location.href);
pageurl.pathname = '/foobar' + pageurl.pathname;
console.log(pageurl.href);
