Get Module’s directory path in Magento 2

Sometimes we need to get module’s directory path mainly when we working with libraries. In this article, I will show how we can get the module’s directory path. Check this article for Get root directory path in Magento 2

Use Magento\Framework\Module\Dir class to get the module’s directory paths.

namespace MagePrince\Testing\Model;

class Directories
{
    private $directory;

    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir $directory
    ) {
        $this->directory = $directory;
    }

    public function getModuleEtcDir()
    {
        $directoryPath = $this->directory->getDir(
            'MagePrince_Testing', Dir::MODULE_ETC_DIR
        );

        return $directoryPath;
    }
}

By the above getModuleEtcDir() function you can get the module’s etc folder path like:

/var/www/html/magento2/app/code/MagePrince/Testing/etc

You can use the following constant of Magento\Framework\Module\Dir class to get module’s directory paths

const MODULE_ETC_DIR = 'etc';
const MODULE_I18N_DIR = 'i18n';
const MODULE_VIEW_DIR = 'view';
const MODULE_CONTROLLER_DIR = 'Controller';
const MODULE_SETUP_DIR = 'Setup';

Happy Coding…:)
