I needed to extract parameters from a URL and started searching online for solutions. I came across a helpful link that provided the information I was looking for:
After visiting the website, I found this code snippet:
function getUrlVars() {
var vars = {};
var parts = window.location.href.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi, function(m,key,value) {
vars[key] = value;
});
return vars;
}
The code worked perfectly for my needs, but I wasn't entirely sure about how it achieved the desired result. Specifically, I was curious about the use of \1 and \2 in the function's parameter.
If someone could kindly explain the step-by-step process behind this code, especially regarding the parameter 'm', I would greatly appreciate it.
