Building the Full Request URL like $uri->getFullUrl();

[SusanthCom]

Hi,

To build the full request url that used in Browser/UserAgent by the EndUser/Program, under current implementation, this works :

$container = $app->getContainer();
$request   = $container['request'];
$uri       = $request->getUri();

$fullUrl = (string) $uri;

This type casting trick is not documented in docs and it appears like a hidden undocumented feature. Why not we make this facility, more explicit by implement it as a documented method in Slim 3.X or Slim 4.0 ?

$fullUrl =  $uri->getFullUrl();

Please share your thoughts.

I do not like to have to methods doing the exact same logic.

Like I said; Slim makes it pretty clear it supports PSR-7

I do agree that adding this to our own docs might help some users. I guess the place to put it is under URI on page request

BTW; Never retrieve the request from the container. Always use the one given to the callable.

Yes. @JoeBengalen,

At the minimum, documenting it there, will bring better visibility to this feature; especially to beginners.

Thank you

$url = (string)$request->getUri(); should give you the url!
