How to get the full url for an asset in Controller?

Question

I need to generate some JSON content in controller and I need to get the full URL to an uploaded image situated here : /web/uploads/myimage.jpg.

How can

Answer 1

app.request.uriForPath('/uploads/myimage.jpg') | replace({'/app_dev.php': ''})

this avoid the problem of app_dev.php

Answer 2

You can use the function getSchemeAndHttpHost() for Gets the scheme and HTTP host and use the function getBasePath() to get the root path from which this request is executed

$request->getSchemeAndHttpHost().$request->getBasePath()."/uploads/myimage.jpg"

This method works fine for the app.php and app_dev.php.

Answer 3

You can get site url i.e point to web folder by using the following code

$protocol = stripos($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'],'https') === true ? 'https://' : 'http://';

    $hostName = $request->server->get('HTTP_HOST');

    $baseDirectory = "";

    if(!empty($this->container->get('router')->getContext()->getBaseUrl())){

        $baseDirectory = str_replace('app_dev.php', '', $this->container->get('router')->getContext()->getBaseUrl());
    }

    $rootUrl = $protocol.$hostName.$baseDirectory;
