Javascript – How to get parameters on client side passsed by HTTP GET request

asp.net-mvcasp.net-mvc-4callbackjavascriptjquery

I need to catch a callback in my razor view page from some social service API.
The callback request is implemented by HTTP GET method:

http://www.contactsimporter.com/home.cshtml

After callback is implemented I need to retrieve parameters(param1=value1&param2=value2) from HTTP GET request.
For example:

http://www.contactsimporter.com/home.cshtml?param1=value1&param2=value2

I need to retrieve this parameters param1=value1&param2=value2 from callback URL.

Any idea or code example how can I get those parameters using JavaScript or jQuery code?
Thank you in advance.

Adapted from CSS-Tricks

To access to the url: window.location.pathname

Now you can treat the url like a normal string in Javascript and parse it accordingly.

var url = window.location.pathname
var getQuery = url.split('?')[1]
var params = getQuery.split('&') 
// params is ['param1=value', 'param2=value2']

Javascript – How to get jQuery to perform a synchronous, rather than asynchronous, Ajax request

From the jQuery documentation: you specify the asynchronous option to be false to get a synchronous Ajax request. Then your callback can set some data before your mother function proceeds.

Here's what your code would look like if changed as suggested:

beforecreate: function (node, targetNode, type, to) {
    jQuery.ajax({
        url: 'http://example.com/catalog/create/' + targetNode.id + '?name=' + encode(to.inp[0].value),
        success: function (result) {
            if (result.isOk == false) alert(result.message);
        },
        async: false
    });
}

Javascript – How to manage a redirect request after a jQuery Ajax call

I read this question and implemented the approach that has been stated regarding setting the response HTTP status code to 278 in order to avoid the browser transparently handling the redirects. Even though this worked, I was a little dissatisfied as it is a bit of a hack.

After more digging around, I ditched this approach and used JSON. In this case, all responses to AJAX requests have the status code 200 and the body of the response contains a JSON object that is constructed on the server. The JavaScript on the client can then use the JSON object to decide what it needs to do.

I had a similar problem to yours. I perform an AJAX request that has 2 possible responses: one that redirects the browser to a new page and one that replaces an existing HTML form on the current page with a new one. The jQuery code to do this looks something like:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: reqUrl,
    data: reqBody,
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(data, textStatus) {
        if (data.redirect) {
            // data.redirect contains the string URL to redirect to
            window.location.href = data.redirect;
        } else {
            // data.form contains the HTML for the replacement form
            $("#myform").replaceWith(data.form);
        }
    }
});

The JSON object "data" is constructed on the server to have 2 members: data.redirect and data.form. I found this approach to be much better.
