Google AMP - Save current page URL to local storage

Question

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm building a landing page that is supposed to store the current page URL with query strings to local storage. I've looked all over, but can't find a solution that will keep my AMP page valid.

Answer 1

This is not possible with AMP as you can't run custom Javascript. This means you won't be able to read from local storage either.

Answer 2

Nowadays you can use for custom JS and access the localStorage, but as far as I know, you can't access the page URL directly.

Look at this compatibility table: https://github.com/ampproject/worker-dom/blob/main/web_compat_table.md

Document.location is marked as false.

I'm working in an AMP project that needed the current page URL. What I did was to save the URL as an attribute and use a custom JS to read from this attribute (my pages are rendered in the server, so I can add this info there).

Answer 3

I know this is a 3 year old question, but what you're trying to accomplish is doable through the use of the amp-script component.

Hope this helps somebody in the future.
