Typescript is the superset of JavaScript and this PnP JS library is developed using the typescript specification. For developing the SharePoint Framework web parts and make the client side development easier, we can vote for typescript. The below is the typescript example for retrieving the web url from any page url in  Site Collection.

[code language=”js”]

import pnp from "sp-pnp-js";

pnp.sp.site.getWebUrlFromPageUrl(‘https://ktskumar.sharepoint.com/sites/team/SitePages/Home.aspx’)
.then(res => {
document.getElementById(‘sample’).innerHTML = res;
});

[/code]
