add class to regex jquery, on index page

Question

referring to this question:

I would like to know how to use this code for pages like http://www.mydomain.com or http://localhost/ or http://localhost:3000/ or any index page.

The code example is this for http://localhost/username/boards

if( /^\/[^/]+\/boards/.test(location.pathname) ) {
     $("#container ul #all_categories a.categories-menu").css("font-weight","bold");
}

You mean you want to do something when the pathname is empty? Test whether it is empty (or contains only /) ;) — Felix Kling

Yes when The path name its empty or contain only / :D. I have window.location.href == "http://localhost:3000/" but it is difficult to maintain :( if I deploy the server in production mode with http://www.mydomain.com — hyperrjas

Yeah, so if(location.pathname === '/') will work just fine. — Felix Kling

Ok, lets make it official:

All you have to do is to test the URL for an empty path:

if(location.pathname === '/')
