When you have access to a DOM, you can use the native HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils properties of an tag:

function urlInfo (url) {

  var props = 'hash host hostname href origin password pathname port protocol username search';

  if (!window.urlInfoAnchorElement)
    window.urlInfoAnchorElement = document.createElement('a');

  urlInfoAnchorElement.href = url;

  return props.split(' ').reduce(function (m, v, i) {
    m[v] = urlInfoAnchorElement[v]; return m;
  }, {});

}

// Example:
urlInfo('http://localhost:4000/guidelines/7yQxvndK?get=sup&love=1#oiwjef');

/* => {
  hash: "#oiwjef"
  host: "localhost:4000"
  hostname: "localhost"
  href: "http://localhost:4000/guidelines/7yQxvndK?get=sup&love=1#oiwjef"
  origin: "http://localhost:4000"
  password: ""
  pathname: "/guidelines/7yQxvndK"
  port: "4000"
  protocol: "http:"
  search: "?get=sup&love=1"
} */
