How to Get Magento 2 Base URL

As a Magento 2 developer, I many times require to get Magento 2 base URL.

In good old days of Magento 1, it was easier to get the base URL using Mage::getBaseUrl();

However, it is not the same case in Magento 2.

You can use the two methods to get base URL in Magento 2:

1. Using Magento Core Method
2. Using Object Manager

I have shown the implementation of both the methods below:

Methods to Get Magento 2 Base URL:

Using Magento Core Method

<?php
namespace [Vendor]\[Module]\Helper;

use Magento\Framework\App\Helper\AbstractHelper;
use Magento\Framework\App\Helper\Context;
use Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface;

class Data extends AbstractHelper
{
    protected $storeManager;

    public function __construct(
        Context $context,
        StoreManagerInterface $storeManager
    )
    {
        $this->storeManager = $storeManager;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }

    public function getStoreManagerData()
    {
        $storeUrl = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl();

        // get Store Url without index.php
        $storeUrl = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_WEB);

        // get Link Url of store
        $storeLinkUrl = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_DIRECT_LINK);

        // get media Base Url
        $storeMediaUrl = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA);

        // get Static content Url
        $storeStaticUrl = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_STATIC);
    }
}

Using Object Manager

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

$storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl();  // to get Base Url
$storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_WEB); // to get Base Url without index.php
$storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_LINK); // to get store link url
$storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA); // to get Base Media url

That’s it

Thanks.
