Url Helper
|
|
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Url helper provides a set of static methods for managing URLs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting Common URLs <span id="getting-common-urls"></span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two methods you can use to get common URLs: home URL and base URL of the current request. In order to get
|
|
|
|
home URL, use the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$relativeHomeUrl = Url::home();
|
|
|
|
$absoluteHomeUrl = Url::home(true);
|
|
|
|
$httpsAbsoluteHomeUrl = Url::home('https');
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no parameter is passed, the generated URL is relative. You can either pass `true` to get an absolute URL for the current
|
|
|
|
schema or specify a schema explicitly (`https`, `http`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get the base URL of the current request use the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$relativeBaseUrl = Url::base();
|
|
|
|
$absoluteBaseUrl = Url::base(true);
|
|
|
|
$httpsAbsoluteBaseUrl = Url::base('https');
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The only parameter of the method works exactly the same as for `Url::home()`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Creating URLs <span id="creating-urls"></span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to create a URL to a given route use the `Url::toRoute()` method. The method uses [[\yii\web\UrlManager]] to create
|
|
|
|
a URL:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$url = Url::toRoute(['product/view', 'id' => 42]);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may specify the route as a string, e.g., `site/index`. You may also use an array if you want to specify additional
|
|
|
|
query parameters for the URL being created. The array format must be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
// generates: /index.php?r=site/index¶m1=value1¶m2=value2
|
|
|
|
['site/index', 'param1' => 'value1', 'param2' => 'value2']
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to create a URL with an anchor, you can use the array format with a `#` parameter. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
// generates: /index.php?r=site/index¶m1=value1#name
|
|
|
|
['site/index', 'param1' => 'value1', '#' => 'name']
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A route may be either absolute or relative. An absolute route has a leading slash (e.g. `/site/index`) while a relative
|
|
|
|
route has none (e.g. `site/index` or `index`). A relative route will be converted into an absolute one by the following rules:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- If the route is an empty string, the current [[\yii\web\Controller::route|route]] will be used;
|
|
|
|
- If the route contains no slashes at all (e.g. `index`), it is considered to be an action ID of the current controller
|
|
|
|
and will be prepended with [[\yii\web\Controller::uniqueId]];
|
|
|
|
- If the route has no leading slash (e.g. `site/index`), it is considered to be a route relative to the current module
|
|
|
|
and will be prepended with the module's [[\yii\base\Module::uniqueId|uniqueId]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starting from version 2.0.2, you may specify a route in terms of an [alias](concept-aliases.md). If this is the case,
|
|
|
|
the alias will first be converted into the actual route which will then be turned into an absolute route according
|
|
|
|
to the above rules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below are some examples of using this method:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=site/index
|
|
|
|
echo Url::toRoute('site/index');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=site/index&src=ref1#name
|
|
|
|
echo Url::toRoute(['site/index', 'src' => 'ref1', '#' => 'name']);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=post/edit&id=100 assume the alias "@postEdit" is defined as "post/edit"
|
|
|
|
echo Url::toRoute(['@postEdit', 'id' => 100]);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// http://www.example.com/index.php?r=site/index
|
|
|
|
echo Url::toRoute('site/index', true);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// https://www.example.com/index.php?r=site/index
|
|
|
|
echo Url::toRoute('site/index', 'https');
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's another method `Url::to()` that is very similar to [[toRoute()]]. The only difference is that this method
|
|
|
|
requires a route to be specified as an array only. If a string is given, it will be treated as a URL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first argument could be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- an array: [[toRoute()]] will be called to generate the URL. For example:
|
|
|
|
`['site/index']`, `['post/index', 'page' => 2]`. Please refer to [[toRoute()]] for more details
|
|
|
|
on how to specify a route.
|
|
|
|
- a string with a leading `@`: it is treated as an alias, and the corresponding aliased string
|
|
|
|
will be returned.
|
|
|
|
- an empty string: the currently requested URL will be returned;
|
|
|
|
- a normal string: it will be returned as is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When `$scheme` is specified (either a string or true), an absolute URL with host info (obtained from
|
|
|
|
[[\yii\web\UrlManager::hostInfo]]) will be returned. If `$url` is already an absolute URL, its scheme
|
|
|
|
will be replaced with the specified one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below are some usage examples:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=site/index
|
|
|
|
echo Url::to(['site/index']);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=site/index&src=ref1#name
|
|
|
|
echo Url::to(['site/index', 'src' => 'ref1', '#' => 'name']);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=post/edit&id=100 assume the alias "@postEdit" is defined as "post/edit"
|
|
|
|
echo Url::to(['@postEdit', 'id' => 100]);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// the currently requested URL
|
|
|
|
echo Url::to();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// /images/logo.gif
|
|
|
|
echo Url::to('@web/images/logo.gif');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// images/logo.gif
|
|
|
|
echo Url::to('images/logo.gif');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// http://www.example.com/images/logo.gif
|
|
|
|
echo Url::to('@web/images/logo.gif', true);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// https://www.example.com/images/logo.gif
|
|
|
|
echo Url::to('@web/images/logo.gif', 'https');
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starting from version 2.0.3, you may use [[yii\helpers\Url::current()]] to create a URL based on the currently
|
|
|
|
requested route and GET parameters. You may modify or remove some of the GET parameters or add new ones by
|
|
|
|
passing a `$params` parameter to the method. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
// assume $_GET = ['id' => 123, 'src' => 'google'], current route is "post/view"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=post/view&id=123&src=google
|
|
|
|
echo Url::current();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=post/view&id=123
|
|
|
|
echo Url::current(['src' => null]);
|
|
|
|
// /index.php?r=post/view&id=100&src=google
|
|
|
|
echo Url::current(['id' => 100]);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Remember URLs <span id="remember-urls"></span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are cases when you need to remember URL and afterwards use it during processing of the one of sequential requests.
|
|
|
|
It can be achieved in the following way:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
// Remember current URL
|
|
|
|
Url::remember();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Remember URL specified. See Url::to() for argument format.
|
|
|
|
Url::remember(['product/view', 'id' => 42]);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Remember URL specified with a name given
|
|
|
|
Url::remember(['product/view', 'id' => 42], 'product');
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the next request we can get URL remembered in the following way:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$url = Url::previous();
|
|
|
|
$productUrl = Url::previous('product');
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Checking Relative URLs <span id="checking-relative-urls"></span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To find out if URL is relative i.e. it doesn't have host info part, you can use the following code:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$isRelative = Url::isRelative('test/it');
|
|
|
|
```
