How to grab substring before a specified character in JavaScript?

I am trying to extract everything before the ',' comma. How do I do this in JavaScript or jQuery? I tried this and not working..

1345 albany street, Bellevue WA 42344

I just want to grab the street address.

var streetaddress= substr(addy, 0, index(addy, '.'));
Solution 
  • const streetAddress = addy.substring(0, addy.indexOf(","));

    While it’s not the best place for definitive information on what each method does (MDN Web Docs are better for that) W3Schools.com is good for introducing you to syntax.
