This should do the trick.
const url = 'http://aaronpenton.net/ampcreative/vip/about-vip/?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967'
url.replace(url.split('/')[6], '')
split, well.. splits the string into an array by the /
character.
At index 6 the array contains the ?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967 substring which can than be removed (i.e. replaced by the empty string) using replace.
A more general approach to removing the last part of the url might
be to use the array length instead of specifying the index:
const url = 'http://aaronpenton.net/ampcreative/vip/about-vip/?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967'
const urlArr = url.split('/')
url.replace(urlArr[urlArr.length - 1], '')
Update:
Another way to do this is using the URL API
const url = new URL('http://aaronpenton.net/ampcreative/vip/about-vip/?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967');
const result = url.origin + url.pathname
or in a function:
const removeParameter = u => {
const url = new URL(u);
return url.origin + url.pathname
}
You might have to check the specification for further details (browser support etc)
