$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance(); $storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface'); $mediaPath = $fileSystem->getDirectoryRead(\Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList::MEDIA)->getAbsolutePath(); it returns media path. How to get the root path of a project in a phtml page?
Class \Magento\Framework\Filesystem\DirectoryList is used to get path like root, media, var etc
This will get root directory of your project like this
/var/www/html/myproject
By ObjectManager
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance(); $directory = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\Filesystem\DirectoryList'); echo $rootPath = $directory->getRoot(); By Dependency Injection
protected $_dir; ... public function __construct( ... \Magento\Framework\Filesystem\DirectoryList $dir, ... ) { ... $this->_dir = $dir; ... } Get other directory paths like
$this->_dir->getRoot(); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject $this->_dir->getPath('media'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/pub/media $this->_dir->getPath('pub'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/pub $this->_dir->getPath('static'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/pub/static $this->_dir->getPath('var'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var $this->_dir->getPath('app'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/app $this->_dir->getPath('etc'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/app/etc $this->_dir->getPath('lib_internal'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/lib/internal $this->_dir->getPath('lib_web'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/lib/web $this->_dir->getPath('tmp'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/tmp $this->_dir->getPath('cache'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/cache $this->_dir->getPath('log'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/log $this->_dir->getPath('session'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/session $this->_dir->getPath('setup'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/setup/src $this->_dir->getPath('di'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/di $this->_dir->getPath('upload'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/pub/media/upload $this->_dir->getPath('generation'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/generation $this->_dir->getPath('view_preprocessed'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/view_preprocessed $this->_dir->getPath('composer_home'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/composer_home $this->_dir->getPath('html'); // Output: /var/www/html/myproject/var/view_preprocessed/html NOTE: You should never use \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance() It defeats the purpose of dependency injection.
You can use magento 2 default variable to get absolute path of Magento directory
echo BP; You have to use ROOT for get root directory
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance(); $storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface'); $fileSystem = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\Filesystem'); $mediaPath = $fileSystem->getDirectoryRead(\Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList::ROOT)->getAbsolutePath() I prefer Alan Storm's approach.
$object_manager = MagentoCoreModelObjectManager::getInstance(); $dir = $object_manager->get('MagentoAppDir'); $base = $dir->getDir(); $media = $dir->getUrl(MagentoAppDir::MEDIA); And you can find a full list of constants under lib/Magento/App/Dir.php.
