Subdomain

Rails
1

I know how to retrieve the current :controller and :action, but is there
a
variable available for me to retrieve the URL items such as:

subdomain.mydomain.com

I would like to be able to pull “subdomain” out of the URL. Is this
possible with something built-in?

Thanks,
David

You might want to look into acts_as_subdomainable :slight_smile: Just kidding,
but you might look into this plugin:

It probably has the goods to get you going.

@request.subdomains will give you an array of all the subdomains. In the
example you gave, @request.subdomains.first would return “subdomain”
