Getting host name using HTL

[JakeCham]

Hi Team,

I want to get the host name according to environments such as author , publisher and despatcher.

So I tried using java script like below.

window.location.hostname;

but my code is inside base page component. So it is saying window is not defined. Is there any way we can get the host name using HTL ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @JakeCham 

You can get server details in sightly from request object as below.

<div>The Scheme (http/https) is ${request.scheme}</div>
<div>The hostname(domain) is ${request.serverName}</div>
<div>The port is ${request.serverPort}</div>
<div>The request URI is ${request.requestURI}</div>

Regards

Shiv

@JakeCham , although @Shiv_Prakash_Patel 's response is perfectly fine for your query.

If you are trying to create an absolute URL or externalLink. Try using Exernalizer service in your Sling Model (which can be tied to a runmode config) and then get it in sightly.
