How to get current controller action in cakephp 3.x model - cakephp

Question

I am using cakephp 3.x have put database queries in model in which i want to check the current controller action and based on that i will make my database queries.
I know i can pass controller action from my controller itself to my model function but is there a way i can just check my current controller action inside my model only so that i do not need to pass it in my multiple functions which are inside model only.
My Try -- UsersTable.php
public function initialize(array $config)
{
parent::initialize($config);
$this->table('users');
$this->primaryKey('user_id');
echo '<pre>';
print_r($GLOBALS);
exit;
}
so far if i do this, i got an array in response and in which i found this the best result out of other things in that array
[REQUEST_URI] => /5p_group/users/add
I m also trying to use this
echo '<pre>';
print_r($GLOBALS['_SERVER']['HTTP_REFERER']);
exit;
which gives me this output
http://localhost/5p_group/users/archived
so eventually i am getting the result which i want but i want another proper method which cakephp 3.x uses ..
So is there any other way or more frequent way from that i can get my current controller action ?
Any ideas will be appreciated ..
Thanks

Answer 1

First of all you should use the routing class in your model. So at the top you can call it like below
use Cake\Routing\Router;
And then in your initialize function you can check the params like
debug(Router::getRequest());
Or to be more specific you can use
debug(Router::getRequest()->params['action']);
I think this is the solution using cakephp classes only, though a small hack.
For more function reference you can access the cookbook at Router Class

The question was about a Model, but it shows up on Google.
When inside a view (.ctp file), use
\Cake\Routing\Router::getRequest()->getAttributes();
