How to check by the url if the page is the index

Question

As I get through JS, if my url is the index?

I have a code like this:

window.onload = function () {
    url = window.location.href;

    if (url.match("/dashboard")) {
        [...]
    }
}

that checks if it is in the Dashboard url. But how do I check if it is in the index? Since there is no /index in the url, it is simply https://localhost:8080?

I can’t do it like this:

if (url == "https://localhost:8080/") {
    [...]
}

Because in the future this url will certainly be another one, and I will need to change the code (which I don’t want).

Answer 1

Instead of href, you can use pathname, which is the part of the URL you want to check:

const url = window.location;

console.log(url.pathname);

In this case, in the index the value of url.pathname will be "/".
