*/
namespace QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Block;
class HelloWorld extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
protected $directoryList;
public function __construct(
\Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList $directoryList
) {
$this->directoryList=$directoryList
}
public function getbaseDir()
{
return $this->_directorylist->getPath('media');
}
}
Object Manager
In this example we will get base directory of media. Using object manager is not recommended.
$dir = $objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList');
$mediaPath = $dir->getPath('media');
