How to get Magento 2 base URL & Current URL in phtml

When running a Magento 2 store, there will be many situations that need the system to automatically get the base or current URLs, for example, generating the URL for a CMS or a blog page, or developing a development site.

Therefore, How to get base url and current url in Magento 2 is the next topic Mageplaza guides you today. Let’s do it by running the code snippet as the following two steps.

3 steps to get base url and current url in Magento 2

Step 1: Declare in Mageplaza_HelloWorld
Step 2: Get current URL and base URL in the template (.phtml) file
Step 3: Flush Cache and check result

Step 1: Declare in Mageplaza_HelloWorld

You will use a block class of the module Mageplaza_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/Mageplaza/HelloWorld/Block/HelloWorld.php class and run the code:

<?php
namespace Mageplaza\HelloWorld\Block;
class HelloWorld extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
        protected $_storeManager;
        protected $_urlInterface;
 
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,        
        \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        \Magento\Framework\UrlInterface $urlInterface,    
        array $data = []
    )
    {        
        $this->_storeManager = $storeManager;
        $this->_urlInterface = $urlInterface;
        parent::__construct($context, $data);
    }
    
    public function _prepareLayout()
    {
        return parent::_prepareLayout();
    }
    
    /**
     * Prining URLs using StoreManagerInterface
     */
    public function getStoreManagerData()
    {    
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId() . '<br />';
        
        // by default: URL_TYPE_LINK is returned
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl() . '<br />';        
        
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_WEB) . '<br />';
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_DIRECT_LINK) . '<br />';
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA) . '<br />';
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_STATIC) . '<br />';
        
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getUrl('product/33') . '<br />';
        
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getCurrentUrl(false) . '<br />';
            
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseMediaDir() . '<br />';
            
        echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseStaticDir() . '<br />';    
    }
    
    /**
     * Prining URLs using URLInterface
     */
    public function getUrlInterfaceData()
    {
        echo $this->_urlInterface->getCurrentUrl() . '<br />';
        
        echo $this->_urlInterface->getUrl() . '<br />';
        
        echo $this->_urlInterface->getUrl('helloworld/general/enabled') . '<br />';
        
        echo $this->_urlInterface->getBaseUrl() . '<br />';
    }
    
}
?>
