Answer 1

you can first remove if there is / at the end and then get last part of url

let locationLastPart = window.location.pathname
if (locationLastPart.substring(locationLastPart.length-1) == "/") {
  locationLastPart = locationLastPart.substring(0, locationLastPart.length-1);
}
locationLastPart = locationLastPart.substr(locationLastPart.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
