Get Current Path of Page in Middleman Layout File

Question

Is it possible to retrieve the current path of a page in a middleman file? For instance, if I have a layout file layout.erb with something like the following:

<%= page.path %>
<%= yield %>

and a test file index.html:

Testing

then when Middleman rendered the page I would get something like:

/index.html

Answer 1

Middleman also provides the current_page variable. current_page.path is the source path of this resource (relative to the source directory, without template extensions) and current_page.url is the path without the directory index (so foo/index.html becomes just foo).

<%= current_page.path %>
# -> index.html

<%= current_page.url %>
# -> /

This is probably the best way to get the current path considering it's exposed and documented. – Decurion

Any idea how to get the hostname? – Cleruchy

Is that possible if we get the port name ? I want to separate the staging url and production url @Fibrinogen – Ramulose

Helpful to know: Middleman::Sitemap::Resource is the type of current_page (which is an alias of Middleman::TemplateContext.current_resource). – Infare

Answer 2

The solution is:

<%= request.path %>

If I had to guess, I would say when Middleman builds the application it creates a server, requests the pageas in the application and writes the responses to files. But I honestly don't know. – Decurion

@jackyalcine it is aliased to the resource object for the current path github.com/middleman/middleman/blob/… – Unswerving

I don't know when this answer worked, but I'm getting undefined local variable or method 'request' today with Middleman 4.2 – Infare
