Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator @lemmy.world wthit56 @lemmy.world 2mo ago

[Suggestion] Forwarding # anchor links to scroll the generator frame after loading

This would allow things like linking to a specific heading in the tutorial, for example.

You could also make the hash accessible to the generator app. (I don't know if the url is already available.)

You could get the hash with:

new URL(window.location.href).hash

That includes the # so you can also .slice(1) to remove it.

You may also want to use decodeURI to fix the %20 or other URL encoded characters.
- Okay cool. I know you can use window.location.hash in JS, I just don't know what parts are accessible to generators and what's locked off is all. :D
  
  Main thing is, making the has work in the first place.
