Question

I’m using this function to remove http://, https:// and www. from my URLs.

function cleanUrl2(url) { 
    return url.replace(/^(http(s)?:\/\/)?(www\.)?/gi,"");
}

My problem is that I sometimes get:

google.com

and sometimes:

google.com/something/

The ‘/’ at the end causes a lot of problems with my database. I need my function to also remove ‘/’ if it’s the last character.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

function cleanUrl2(url) { 
    return url.replace(/^(http(s)?:\/\/)?(www\.)?/gi,"").replace(/\/$/, "");
 }
