Yii2 Get the current action in the controller

Question

How can I get the current action?

This code:

if (!Yii::$app->controller->action->id == 'lang') { Url::remember(); } 

returns an error:

PHP Note - yii \ base \ ErrorException

Trying to get a non-object property

Answer 1

You should use beforeAction () instead of init() .

You can also just use $this because it contains the current controller.

 public function beforeAction($action) { if (parent::beforeAction($action)) { if ($this->action->id == 'lang') { Url::remember(); } return true; // or false if needed } else { return false; } } 

Answer 2

if you use Yii2 - try the following: $this->context->action->id;

Answer 3

You can get the current action id :)

  Yii::$app->controller->id;
