Steps to Get Module Directory Path in Magento 2 :

1) First of all, Let’s assume that you have created sample module. Now, paste the below code in your controller :

Copy Code


<?php
/**
 * Created By : Rohan Hapani
 */
namespace RH\Helloworld\Controller\Index;

use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action;

class Index extends Action
{
    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir\Reader
     */
    protected $moduleDirectory;

    /**
     * @param  \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context
     * @param  \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir\Reader  $moduleDirectory
     */
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
        \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir\Reader $moduleDirectory,
    ) {
        $this->moduleDirectory = $moduleDirectory;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }
 
    public function execute()
    {
        // Return view directory path
        $viewDir = $this->moduleDirectory->getModuleDir(
            \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir::MODULE_VIEW_DIR,
            'RH_Helloworld'
        );

        // Return etc directory path
        $etcDir = $this->moduleDirectory->getModuleDir(
            \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir::MODULE_ETC_DIR,
            'RH_Helloworld'
        );

        // Return i18n directory path
        $folderDir = $this->moduleDirectory->getModuleDir(
            \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir::MODULE_I18N_DIR,
            'RH_Helloworld'
        );
    }
}

You can use this above code in your block, helper and model file also. Here, I added code for view directory, etc directory and i18N directory path. If you want to other directory path then, you can pass value in first arguement and module name as second arguement.

Now, just remove generated & clean cache and check it.

That’s it !!!
