How do you read a hash with an “&” sign in the URL?

Question

I am building a dynamic website using jQuery and Ajax. I want to read the id after the hash in the following URL:

something.php#type=abc&id=123

My current code to read hash value is:

var hash = location.hash.substr(1);
alert(hash);

You can do something like this:-

var hash = window.location.hash.substr(1);
var searchParams = new URLSearchParams(hash);
if(searchParams.has('id')) {
  var id = searchParams.get('id');
  console.log(id);
}

And same for other params if any. Hope this helps.
