Passing variables through a url

[jamesabela]

Question:
How do you pass variables through a url, so that you can pick it up in Javascript / html? Any help / tutorials / replit examples appreciated.

To pass variables through url use this format:

url?variablename=value&anothervariable=anothervalue

To read these variables using JavaScript, try something like this:

const variables = {};
window.location.search.substr(1).split("&").forEach(function(variable) {
	const temp = variable.split("=");
	variables[temp[0]] = temp[1];
});
console.log(variables);
/*
{
	variablename: "value",
	anothervariable: "anothervalue"
}
*/
