We are on page 'http://site.com/movies/moviename/'
How can we know, is there /movies/ in current url (directly after site's root)?
Code should give:
True for 'http://site.com/movies/moviename/'
And false for 'http://site.com/person/brad-pitt/movies/'
Thanks.
You can try the String object's indexOf method:
var url = window.location.href;
var host = window.location.host;
if(url.indexOf('http://' + host + '/movies') != -1) {
//match
}
Basic string manipulation...
function isValidPath(str, path) {
str = str.substring(str.indexOf('://') + 3);
str = str.substring(str.indexOf('/') + 1);
return (str.indexOf(path) == 0);
}
var url = 'http://site.com/movies/moviename/'; // Use location.href for current
alert(isValidPath(url, 'movies'));
url = 'http://site.com/person/brad-pitt/movies/';
alert(isValidPath(url, 'movies'));
There is nothing in jQuery that you use for that, this is plain Javascript.
if (/\/\/[^\/]+\/movies\//.test(window.location.href)) {
// inside the movies folder
}
You should look at the jQuery-URL-Parser -
You can split the URL in some parts and decide what to do:
var url = $(location).attr('href');
parts = url.split("/");
part_one = parts[parts.length-1];
part_two = parts[parts.length-2];
if(part_two == 'movies') {
//do something
};
