URL: href property

The href property of the URL interface is a string containing the whole URL.

Value

A string.

Examples

Full URL with path

const url = new URL(
  "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/href",
);
console.log(url.href); // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/href

Origin-only URL

For hierarchical schemes such as https:, the pathname must always be non-empty. When the URL has no path (for example, only an origin), the URL parser sets the pathname to "/", so href includes a trailing slash. See the pathname property for more details.

const url = new URL("https://developer.mozilla.org");
console.log(url.href); // https://developer.mozilla.org/
