+Returns the current URL without any parameters.
+
+Use `String.prototype.indexOf()` to check if the given `url` has parameters, `String.prototype.slice()` to remove them if necessary.
+
+```js
+const getBaseURL = url =>
+  url.indexOf('?') > 0 ? url.slice(0, url.indexOf('?')) : url;
+```
+
+```js
+getBaseURL('http://url.com/page?name=Adam&surname=Smith'); // 'http://url.com/page'
+```
