I have a string that is typically a url (minus the http/www part). Keep in mind this string is returned via an API and not parsed from the browser url.
For eg "xyz.abc.com or "login.xyz.abc.com"
Now I need to parse the string and return only the subdomain so that I get the following:
"xyz" and "login.xyz"
With Python, I can achieve this using the following code:
".".join(String.split(".")[:-2])
I am unable to find the appropriate syntax or equivalent in javascript.
If you're sure that the URL will always have a subdomain (it won't be just abc.com, for example), and that the top-level domain will always consist of one part (it won't be co.uk, for example), you could do this with the following JavaScript:
const exampleURL = "login.xyz.abc.com";
const splitURL = exampleURL.split(".");
const subdomains = splitURL.slice(0, splitURL.length - 2); // Remove the domain
const subdomainsString = subdomains.join(".")
console.log(subdomainsString)However, keep in mind that the conditions I mentioned above are two pretty big ifs: if an URL is returned as example.co.uk, this method would think that example would be the subdomain.
