Laravel: Get base URL

Simple question, but the answer seems quite hard to come by. In Codeigniter, I could load the URL helper and then simply do

echo base_url();

to get my site's URL. Is there an equivalent in Laravel?

Solution

  • You can use the URL facade which lets you do calls to the URL generator

    So you can do:

    URL::to('/');

    You can also use the application container:

    $app->make('url')->to('/');
$app['url']->to('/');
App::make('url')->to('/');

    Or inject the UrlGenerator:

    <?php
namespace Vendor\Your\Class\Namespace;

use Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator;

class Classname
{
    protected $url;

    public function __construct(UrlGenerator $url)
    {
        $this->url = $url;
    }

    public function methodName()
    {
        $this->url->to('/');
    }
}
