Is there a public.php base URL API function?

Hello,

I am new to app development in Nextcloud. Is there a method to get the base URL of public.php ?

For now I have made this function:

private function getNextcloudBasePath() {
if ($this->config->getSystemValueBool(‘htaccess.IgnoreFrontController’, false) || getenv(‘front_controller_active’) === ‘true’) {
return $this->urlGenerator->getWebroot();
} else {
return $this->urlGenerator->getWebroot() . ‘/index.php’;
}
}

That I use like this:

$downloadUrlPrefix = $this->getNextcloudBasePath().‘/public.php/dav/files/’.$shareToken;

Which leads to a wrong url `/index.php/public.php` on instances where pretty URL aren’t enabled. I was about to adapt my function but was wondering if something was usable in core to do this.

May I ask for your use case. So, do you actually need the URL in the frontend (JS/TS/Vue) or the backend (PHP)?
