The base path may be any of the follo

Answer 1

I was just on the same stage and this solution works for me

In the view

addScriptDeclaration('var base = \''.JURI::base().'\'');
    $document->addScript('components/com_name/js/filter.js');
?>

In js file you access base as a variable for example in your scenario:

console.log(base) // will print
// http://www.example.com/
// http://localhost/example
// http://www.example.com/sub/example

I do not remember where I take this information to give credit, if I find it I will edit the answer
