Magento 2: How to Get Base URL?

As a Magento developer, you are required to get a Magento 2 Base URL in various cases,

Today we’ll look at some instances of how to access the Base URL programmatically in Magento 2.

According to the DevDocs,

Each website in an Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source installation has a base URL that is assigned to the storefront, and another URL that is assigned to the Admin.

Let’s see the implementation of all the possible methods below:

Table of Contents

1) Get Base URL

/**
* @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $this->_storeManager
*/
$this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl();

2) Get Base URL without index.php

/**
* @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $this->_storeManager
*/
$this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_WEB);

3) Get Base URL using Object Manager

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
$storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl();

4) Get Base URL in config.xml file

{{config path='web/unsecure/base_url'}}

5) Get the Base URL in the layout .xml file

<reference name="head">
    <action method="addLinkRel">
        <rel>canonical</rel>
        <href>{{baseUrl}}customer/account/login</href>
    </action>
</reference>

6) Get Media Base URL

/**
* @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $this->_storeManager
*/
$this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA);

7) Get the Store Link URL

/**
* @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $this->_storeManager
*/
$this->_storeManager->getStore()
     ->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_LINK);

8) Get the Base URL from the Root Directory

echo $this->getUrl('pub/media/uploads/',
['_secure' => $this->getRequest()->isSecure()]).'banner_video.mp4';

9) Get a Custom URL link in Block

echo $this->getUrl('about-us');

10) Get Static Content URL in Block

/**
* @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $this->_storeManager
*/
$staticUrl = $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(
\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_STATIC);

That’s it!!
