Get the current page url in Magento 2.0

Question

I am trying to retrieve the current page url in a template file, but I can't figure out how to do it in Magento 2.0.

Does anyone know how to get it? (keep in mind I am working in a template / phtml file)

Answer 1

Don't use object manager instance directly in files

With objectManager

$urlInterface = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Magento\Framework\UrlInterface');
$urlInterface->getCurrentUrl();

With Factory Method

protected $_urlInterface;

public function __construct(
    ...
    \Magento\Framework\UrlInterface $urlInterface
    ...
) {
    $this->_urlInterface = $urlInterface;
}

public function getUrlInterfaceData()
{
    echo $this->_urlInterface->getCurrentUrl();

    echo $this->_urlInterface->getUrl();

    echo $this->_urlInterface->getUrl('test/test2');

    echo $this->_urlInterface->getBaseUrl();
}

Answer 2

The universal solution: works from anywhere, not only from a template:

/** @var \Magento\Framework\UrlInterface $urlInterface */
$urlInterface = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Magento\Framework\UrlInterface');
$urlInterface->getCurrentUrl();

From a template you can do it simplier: by using the \Magento\Framework\View\Element\AbstractBlock::getUrl() method:

$block->getUrl();
