Strip anchors

Function: Strip anchors​

This function helps you clean up web addresses (URLs) by removing any "anchor" parts. An anchor is the section of a URL that starts with a # symbol, often used to link to a specific part of a webpage. For example, in https://www.example.com/page#section2, #section2 is the anchor. This function will give you the URL without that specific section reference.

Input,

  • Url: The web address (URL) you want to clean. This is a required input.

Output,

  • Result: The cleaned URL, with the anchor part removed. This will be a URL type.

Real-Life Examples,

  1. Example: Removing a specific section link

    • Inputs:
      • Url: https://www.mywebsite.com/products/details#reviews
    • Result: The application will now use https://www.mywebsite.com/products/details for further actions, effectively ignoring the #reviews part.

  2. Example: Cleaning a URL that already has no anchor

    • Inputs:
      • Url: https://www.myblog.org/latest-post
    • Result: The URL remains https://www.myblog.org/latest-post, as there was no anchor to remove.

  3. Example: Processing a URL with query parameters and an anchor

    • Inputs:
      • Url: https://app.example.com/dashboard?user=john.doe&tab=settings#profile-settings
    • Result: The URL will be transformed to https://app.example.com/dashboard?user=john.doe&tab=settings, allowing you to work with the main page and its parameters without the specific anchor.
