javascript - new URL(location.href) doesn't work in IE

Question

I am facing to problem with method new URL('address') in IE.

I have this code:

var href =  location.href;
var hrefParams = new URL(href);
var api = hrefParams.searchParams.get("api");

In Firefox and Chrome it works at should and I will get the value of attribute "api".

But in IE I am getting error on console:

SCRIPT445: Object doesn't support this action

Console error debugger points to the problem with line

var hrefParams = new URL(href);

For solving of another problem I already invoking script

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/bluebird.min.js"></script>

But it doesn't fix this problem.

Any idea how to fix it in IE?

Answer 1

At the end I have fixed that by this code:

function getQueryString() {
          var key = false, res = {}, itm = null;
          // get the query string without the ?
          var qs = location.search.substring(1);
          // check for the key as an argument
          if (arguments.length > 0 && arguments[0].length > 1)
            key = arguments[0];
          // make a regex pattern to grab key/value
          var pattern = /([^&=]+)=([^&]*)/g;
          // loop the items in the query string, either
          // find a match to the argument, or build an object
          // with key/value pairs
          while (itm = pattern.exec(qs)) {
            if (key !== false && decodeURIComponent(itm[1]) === key)
              return decodeURIComponent(itm[2]);
            else if (key === false)
              res[decodeURIComponent(itm[1])] = decodeURIComponent(itm[2]);
          }

          return key === false ? res : null;
}

...

        var api = getQueryString('api');

I forgot where I found that but it is working as I needed.
