Drupal 8 current path, route and URI

30/12/2020 - Ted

Create the path as Drupal knows it

$current_url = Url::fromRoute('<current>');
$path = $current_url->toString();

Path and internal path can be different, eg /user/login

// /en/user/login
$current_url->toString();
// user/login
$current_url->getInternalPath();
// <current>
$route_name = $current_url->getRouteName();

The Drupal syntax of the path

$path = \Drupal::request()->attributes->get('_system_path');

The path including query string

$current_uri = \Drupal::request()->getRequestUri();

For the current raw path (the un-aliased Drupal path):

$current_path = \Drupal::service('path.current')->getPath();
$result = \Drupal::service('path.alias_manager')->getAliasByPath($current_path);

Get the url of the request for displayed on the browser.

$page = \Drupal::request()->getRequestUri();
