URL introspection? about client-js

Unfortunately I won't be able to consider this soon (too many other projects in the queue). However, I think client.state.serverUrl is what you are looking for.

FYI: Yo can find a lot in client.state - https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-js/blob/master/src/types.d.ts#L226-L310

Having something like SMART.getCurrentUrl(); is not possible because that would be a "global level" method. One can have different Client instances for different server URLs, so this should be a client method. Also, there could be other state properties that you might be interested in.

With that said, in v2.3.5 there is new client method called getState(). Examples:

client.getState(); // -> the entire state object
client.getState("serverUrl"); // -> the URL we are connected to
client.getState("tokenResponse.patient"); // -> The selected patient ID (if any)

Note that trying to access client.state.tokenResponse.patient directly can throw an error if there is no tokenResponse. If you use client.getState("tokenResponse.patient"); instead, it should just return undefined (without throwing an error) which should be more convenient.

I was looking for this too. Thanks for posting the "client.state.serverUrl" solution!
