How to access current absolute Uri from any ASP .Net Core class?

Question

I am trying to figure out how to access the current absolute Uri -- i.e. the absolute url of the view that is currently being rendered -- from a user class in .

Answer 1

You may use the GetDisplayUrl extension method.

var url = httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.Request?.GetDisplayUrl();

Assuming httpContextAccessor is an object of IHttpContextAccessor which was injected via DI.

This extension method is defined in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Extensions namespace. So you need to have a using statement to include it in your file.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Extensions;
