This tutorial is about Get base URL,current URL in Magento 2 .i.e how to get base URL current URL in Magento 2. you can also get media url and any custom url following this example. And in this tutorial, I will try to explain it briefly and in a simple way. I will share the code snippet below.

Get base url and current url in Magento 2

First lets note down the steps.

Step 1: Declare in (your module name)_HelloWorld
Step 2: Get current URL and base URL in the template (.phtml) file

Moving forward let us explain these steps step by step.

Declare in (your module name)_HelloWorld

You will use a block class of the module (your module name)_HelloWorld, then possibly inject the object of StoreManagerInterface and UrlInterface in the constructor of the module’s block class. You will work with two functions in the below class: getStoreManagerData() and getUrlInterfaceData().

In getStoreManagerData() function, you will use object of StoreManagerInterface to get the base and current url.

In getUrlInterfaceData() function, you will use object of UrlInterface to get the base and current url

Open app/code/QaisarSatti/HelloWorld/Block/HelloWorld.php class and run the code:

<?php
namespace QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Block;
class HelloWorld extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
protected $_storeManager;
protected $_urlInterface;

public function __construct(
\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface $urlInterface,
)
{
$this->_storeManager = $storeManager;
$this->_urlInterface = $urlInterface;
}

/**
* Printing URLs using StoreManagerInterface
*/
public function getStoreManagerData()
{
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId() . ' ';

// by default: URL_TYPE_LINK is returned
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl() . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_WEB) . ' ';
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_DIRECT_LINK) . ' ';
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA) . ' ';
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_STATIC) . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getUrl('product/33') . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getCurrentUrl(false) . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseMediaDir() . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseStaticDir() . ' ';
}

/**
* Printing URLs using URLInterface
*/
public function getUrlInterfaceData()
{
echo $this->_urlInterface->getCurrentUrl() . ' ';

echo $this->_urlInterface->getUrl() . ' ';

echo $this->_urlInterface->getUrl('helloworld/general/enabled') . ' ';

echo $this->_urlInterface->getBaseUrl() . ' ';
}
}
?>

Step 2:

Get base URL and current URL in the template file

Use the following piece of code:

<?php echo $block->getUrl('hello/test'); ?>
<?php echo $block->getBaseUrl(); ?>

Furthermore, that’s it from this tutorial. I hope it serves the purpose. Since these are learning tutorials, please feel free to drop any suggestions or queries in the comments section. That will definitely be highly appreciated.
