URL API: Get the URL fragment

Join the AI Workshop and learn to build real-world apps with AI. A hands-on, practical program to level up your skills.


I’ve had the need to programmatically access the fragment part of a URL, the part of the URL after the # hash symbol.

For example if the URL is index.html#second I want second back.

Here’s how I did it:

const fragment = window.location.hash
