Easiest way to get current site in php block

Questions
#1

Hi, which is the easiest way to get current site and available sites data in php block?
Like in twig you have:

{{ this.site.id }}
{{ this.site.name }}
{{ this.site.code }}
{{ this.site.locale }}
{{ this.site.timezone }}
{{ this.site.theme }}

I’m using the Site Facade, like this:

Site::getSiteFromContext();
Site::listSites():

Isn’t there any $this->....?
Just wanted to check if that was the easiest and more direct way. In twig it seems pretty straight forward.

use System\Classes\SiteManager;
$activeSite = SiteManager::instance()->getSiteFromContext()

Hi, thanks, is there any difference from using the Site Facade?

Not really; the Site class is a facade for the SiteManager instance.

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the active site from the boot() method of a custom plugin in the Plugin.php file?

Whatever I do, I always get back the primary site, instead of the site the user is currently on.

    public function boot()
    {
        $activeSite = Site::getActiveSite();
        Log::info('Active site: '.$activeSite->code);
    }

My goal is to have a link to a specific product on a specific subsite, but with a variable locale, so I can reuse that as a variable in pages and emails without duplicate code.

My logic might be flawed though.
Any thoughts?
