javascript window location href without hash?

I have:

var uri = window.location.href;

That provides http://example.com/something#hash

What's the best and easiest way to get the entire path without the #hash?

uri    = http://example.com/something#hash
nohash = http://example.com/something

I tried using location.origin+location.pathname which doesn't work in every browser. I tried using location.protocol+'//'+location.host+location.pathname which looks like kind of a crappy solution to me.

What is the best and easiest way to do so? maybe I query for location.hash and try to substr() this from the uri?

location.protocol+'//'+location.host+location.pathname is the correct syntax if you do not care about port number or querystring

If you do care:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.location

location.protocol+'//'+
  location.host+
  location.pathname+
 (location.search?location.search:"")

or

location.protocol+'//'+
  location.hostname+
 (location.port?":"+location.port:"")+
  location.pathname+
 (location.search?location.search:"")

You can also just do a location.href.replace(location.hash,"")
It will remove EVERYTHING from the FIRST # and on regardless of other hash characters in the string

Alternatively create a URL object:

const url = new URL("https://www.somepage.com/page.html#anchor") //(location.href);
console.log(url)
url.hash="";
console.log(url)
