get URL Query params with jquery & js

// Assuming “?order=1&total=30”

While URLSearchParams is ideal, not all browsers support that API. There’s a polyfill available but if you want a tiny function for basic query string parsing, the following is a function stolen from the A-Frame VR toolkit which parses the query string to get the key’s value you’d like:

function getUrlParameter(name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, '\\[').replace(/[\]]/, '\\]');
    var regex = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)');
    var results = regex.exec(location.search);
    return results === null ? '' : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
};

With the function above, you can get individual parameter values:

getUrlParameter('order'); // "1"
