Inside a web application controller, you can use the controller's `createUrl` shortcut method. Unlike the global
`createUrl` method, the controller version is context sensitive:
In order to simplify URL creation there is [[yii\helpers\Url]] helper that is able to do the following:
```php
echo $this->createUrl(''); // currently active route
echo $this->createUrl(['view', 'id' => 'contact']); // same controller, different action
echo $this->createUrl('post/index'); // same module, different controller and action
echo $this->createUrl('/site/index'); // absolute route no matter what controller is making this call
echo $this->createurl('hi-tech'); // url for the case sensitive action `actionHiTech` of the current controller
echo $this->createurl(['/date-time/fast-forward', 'id' => 105]); // url for action the case sensitive controller, `DateTimeController::actionFastForward`
use yii\helpers\Url;
echo Url::to(''); // currently active URL
echo Url::toRoute(['view', 'id' => 'contact']); // same controller, different action
echo Url::toRoute('post/index'); // same module, different controller and action
echo Url::toRoute('/site/index'); // absolute route no matter what controller is making this call
echo Url::toRoute('hi-tech'); // url for the case sensitive action `actionHiTech` of the current controller
echo Url::toRoute(['/date-time/fast-forward', 'id' => 105]); // url for action the case sensitive controller, `DateTimeController::actionFastForward`
echo Url::to('@web'); // get URL from alias
echo Url::canonical(); // get canonical URL for the curent page
echo Url::home(); // get home URL
Url::remember(); // save URL to be used later
Url::previous(); // get previously saved URL
```
> **Tip**: In order to generate URL with a hashtag, for example `/index.php?r=site/page&id=100#title`, you need to
specify the parameter named `#` using `$this->createUrl(['post/read', 'id' => 100, '#' => 'title'])`.
specify the parameter named `#` using `Url::to(['post/read', 'id' => 100, '#' => 'title'])`.
Customizing URLs

]
```
- Calling `$this->createUrl('post/list')` generates `/index.php/posts`. The first rule is applied.
- Calling `$this->createUrl(['post/read', 'id' => 100])` generates `/index.php/post/100`. The second rule is applied.
- Calling `$this->createUrl(['post/read', 'year' => 2008, 'title' => 'a sample post'])` generates
- Calling `Url::toRoute('post/list')` generates `/index.php/posts`. The first rule is applied.
- Calling `Url::toRoute(['post/read', 'id' => 100])` generates `/index.php/post/100`. The second rule is applied.
- Calling `Url::toRoute(['post/read', 'year' => 2008, 'title' => 'a sample post'])` generates
`/index.php/post/2008/a%20sample%20post`. The third rule is applied.
- Calling `$this->createUrl('post/read')` generates `/index.php/post/read`. None of the rules is applied, convention is used
- Calling `Url::toRoute('post/read')` generates `/index.php/post/read`. None of the rules is applied, convention is used
instead.
In summary, when using `createUrl` to generate a URL, the route and the `GET` parameters passed to the method are used to
decide which URL rule to be applied. If every parameter associated with a rule can be found in the `GET` parameters passed
to `createUrl`, and if the route of the rule also matches the route parameter, the rule will be used to generate the URL.
If the `GET` parameters passed to `createUrl` are more than those required by a rule, the additional parameters will appear in the query string. For example, if we call `$this->createUrl('post/read', ['id' => 100, 'year' => 2008])`, we will obtain `/index.php/post/100?year=2008`.
If the `GET` parameters passed to `Url::toRoute` are more than those required by a rule, the additional parameters will
appear in the query string. For example, if we call `Url::toRoute(['post/read', 'id' => 100, 'year' => 2008])`, we will
obtain `/index.php/post/100?year=2008`.
As we mentioned earlier, the other purpose of URL rules is to parse the requesting URLs. Naturally, this is an inverse process of URL creation. For example, when a user requests for `/index.php/post/100`, the second rule in the above example will apply, which resolves in the route `post/read` and the `GET` parameter `['id' => 100]` (accessible via
`Yii::$app->request->getQueryParam('id')`).
