new URL(location.href) doesn't work in IE

Question

I am facing to problem with method new URL(\'address\') in IE.

I have this code:

var href =  location.href;
var hrefParams = new URL(href);
var api =

Here's another polyfill specifically for the URL api, intended to work exactly as it does in modern browsers and only run if needed. This way you don't need to use a separate function that will be obsolete once you decide to drop support for IE.
