Is the SF team planning on deprecating support for the window object?

If so is there a lwc way to get the current url for the loaded page of the component? I couldn't find anything going through the current documentation.

You can check Secure Wrappers and Locker API Viewer to get good idea - but it seems to have access and no documentation which says the access would be revoked.

However, the recommended way of getting page reference is through using NavigationMixin & CurrentPageReference.

Sample code JS:

import LightningElement, wire, api, track from 'lwc';
import NavigationMixin, CurrentPageReference from 'lightning/navigation';

export default class Poc extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement) 
 @wire(CurrentPageReference)
 getpageRef(pageRef) 
 console.log('data => ', JSON.stringify(pageRef));
 

Output:

When above component was used in Aura component (Name:POC_AURA) which was loaded directly (isUrlAddressable interface), we get below object as logged:

 "type": "standard__component",
 "attributes": 
 "componentName": "c__POC_AURA"
 ,
 "state": 
 "c__id": "some_id"
 

When the same LWC component is put in record page of account, we get below logged:

 "type": "standard__recordPage",
 "attributes": 
 "objectApiName": "Account",
 "recordId": "0010K000028HCgAQAW",
 "actionName": "view"
 ,
 "state": 

 

You can refer to different pageReference types that you get.
