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?
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('/');
}
}
