How to get the hash value from the browser URL using JavaScript?

Originally posted here!

To get the hash value from the browser URL, you can use the location.hash property from the global window object using JavaScript.

For example, let's say we have a URL called https://mywebsite.com#portfolio in the browser.

As you can see that after the .com there is a string after the # symbol (hash symbol). To get that value from the browser URL we can use the window.location.hash property in JavaScript.

It can be done like this,

// Get the hash value from the browser URL
const hashValue = window.location.hash;

console.log(hashValue); // #portfolio

• The property returns the hash value with the hash symbol as its prefix.

See the above code live in this codesandbox.

That's all 😃!
