Used the below method in order to get the media directory path, but it returns an error.

$om = \Magento\Core\Model\ObjectManager::getInstance(); $directoryList = $om->get(\Magento\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList::class); $pubMediaDir = $directoryList->getPath(\Magento\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList::MEDIA);

Please help me to find a solution.

    Your question is not clear to me. You can explain more details? Additionally, we can take a look: magento.stackexchange.com/a/155238/33057 Commented May 29, 2017 at 12:32
  • @Rita Jose, does the accepted answer fit in a .phtml file which doesn't have any class? Commented Apr 27, 2020 at 18:35

Instead of using direct object manager, use It like

use Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList; protected $_filesystem; public function __construct( \Magento\Framework\Filesystem $filesystem ) { $this->_filesystem = $filesystem; }

Now you can media path by,

$mediapath = $this->_filesystem->getDirectoryRead(DirectoryList::MEDIA)->getAbsolutePath();

EDIT

If you want to use an Object Manager, then you can use this (not recommended)

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance(); $fileSystem = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Framework\Filesystem'); $mediaPath = $fileSystem->getDirectoryRead(\Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList::MEDIA)->getAbsolutePath(); echo $mediaPath; exit;

  • @KeyurShah, Would you please suggest how to get Custom module's image folder directory path? I want to get directory path of my module's image folder. Commented Jun 23, 2017 at 5:01

First you will need to inject DirectoryList class into your Magento 2 constructor:

public function __construct(\Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context $context, \Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList $directory_list, array $data = []) { parent::__construct($context, $data); $this->directory_list = $directory_list; }

After that you will have access to DirectoryList methods for retrieving various paths. For example, to get media folder you can use:

$this->directory_list->getPath('media');

Other possible uses are:

/* Get app folder */ $this->directory_list->getPath('app'); /* Get configuration folder */ $this->directory_list->getPath('etc'); /* Get libraries or third-party components folder */ $this->directory_list->getPath('lib_internal'); /* Get libraries/components that need to be accessible publicly through web-server folder */ $this->directory_list->getPath('lib_web'); /* Get public folder */ $this->directory_list->getPath('pub'); /* Get static folder */ $this->directory_list->getPath('static'); /* Get var folder */ $this->directory_list->getPath('var'); /* Get temporary files folder */ $this->directory_list->getPath('tmp'); /* Get file system caching directory (if file system caching is used) */ $this->directory_list->getPath('cache'); /* Get logs of system messages and errors */ $this->directory_list->getPath('log'); /* Get file system session directory (if file system session storage is used) */ $this->directory_list->getPath('session'); /* Get directory for Setup application*/ $this->directory_list->getPath('setup'); /* Get Dependency injection related file directory */ $this->directory_list->getPath('di'); /* Relative directory key for generated code*/ $this->directory_list->getPath('generation'); /* Temporary directory for uploading files by end-user */ $this->directory_list->getPath('upload'); /* Directory to store composer related files (config, cache etc.) in case if composer runs by Magento Application */ $this->directory_list->getPath('composer_home'); /* A suffix for temporary materialization directory where pre-processed files will be written (if necessary) */ $this->directory_list->getPath('view_preprocessed'); /* Get template minification dir */ $this->directory_list->getPath('html');

Try to get it by using StoreManagerInterface

use Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface; protected $storeManager; public function __construct( StoreManagerInterface $storeManager, ) { $this->storeManager = $storeManager; }

Now get media url using

 $mediaUrl = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA);

Use below code to get the media path on .phtml file.

$this->getUrl('pub/media');

By Objectmanager

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance(); echo $objectManager->get('Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface') ->getStore() ->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA);
