Function getPathFromLocation

Parses a location pathname of a LabKey URL into its constituent parts (e.g. controller, action, etc). Defaults to the current location's pathname and context path. The parsed parts of the ActionPath are URI decoded.

Example

// 1. First example shows the default values as retrieved for the pathname and context path.
// window.location.pathname = "/labkey/folder/tree/study-participants.view"
// LABKEY.contextPath = "/labkey"
const path = ActionURL.getPathFromLocation();

console.log(path.contextPath);   // "/labkey"
console.log(path.containerPath); // "/folder/tree"
console.log(path.controller);    // "study"
console.log(path.action);        // "participants"

// 2. Second example when the "pathname" parameter is supplied. The default value for context path is utilized.
// LABKEY.contextPath = "/labkey"
const pathname = "/labkey/home/with/folder/project-begin.view";
const path = ActionURL.getPathFromLocation(pathname);

console.log(path.contextPath);   // "/labkey"
console.log(path.containerPath); // "/home/with/folder"
console.log(path.controller);    // "project"
console.log(path.action);        // "begin"
