Getting base URL in Yii 2

I am trying to get the base URL for the project in Yii 2 but it doesn't seem to work. According to this page you used to be able to do:

Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true);

In Yii 1, but it seems that that method in Yii 2 no longer accepts a parameter?

I've tried doing it without true, such as:

Yii::$app->getBaseUrl();

But it just returns empty.

How can you do this in Yii 2?

Try below code. It should work. It will return base URL name

use yii\helpers\Url;

Url::home('http') // http://HostName/ OR Url::home('https') // https://HostName/

In yii 1 this code return the hostname

Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true);

In yii2 the following 

Yii::$app->getBaseUrl();

not exists as method of Yii::$app and it triggers an error with message

Calling unknown method: yii\web\Application::getBaseUrl()

You could use Request class that encapsulates the $_SERVER

Yii::$app->request->hostInfo

Try this:

$baseUrl = Yii::$app->urlManager->createAbsoluteUrl(['/']);

To get base URL of application you should use yii\helpers\Url::base() method:

use yii\helpers\Url;

Url::base();         // /myapp
Url::base(true);     // http(s)://example.com/myapp - depending on current schema
Url::base('https');  // https://example.com/myapp
Url::base('http');   // http://example.com/myapp
Url::base('');       // //example.com/myapp

Url::home() should NOT be used in this case. Application::$homeUrl uses base URL by default, but it could be easily changed (for example to https://example.com/myapp/home) so you should not rely on assumption that it will always return base URL. If there is a special Url::base() method to get base URL, then use it.

My guess is that you need to look at aliases.

Using aliases would be like: 

Yii::getAlias('@web');

You can also always rely on one of these two:

Yii::$app->homeUrl;

Url::base();

I searched for a solution how we can do like in codeigniter, routing like e.g. 

base_url()
base_url('profile')
base_url('view/12')

Only way we can do that in Yii2

<?=Url::toRoute('/profile') ?>

Use it like this: 

Yii::$app->getUrlManager()->getBaseUrl()
