Sitecore how to get an ImageField full url, not a relative path?

Question

It's an Web API project, to provide some data for third parties.

var image = new MediaItem(imageField.MediaItem);
string src = Sitecore.StringUtil.EnsurePrefix('/', Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaManager.GetMediaUrl(image));

This only get a relative url like "/en/-/media/myrestaurant/home-image-carousel-1.jpg"

How can I get the full path of this iamge? something like GetFriendlyUrl() for a general link which I can get a full path of it as https://local.xxrestaurant:443/en/about-us ?

Answer 1

you have to use MediaUrlOptions and to pass it to GetMediaUrl method.

You will have:

            var image = new MediaItem(imageField.MediaItem);
            MediaUrlOptions mediaUrlOptions = new MediaUrlOptions();
            mediaUrlOptions.AlwaysIncludeServerUrl = true;
            string src = Sitecore.StringUtil.EnsurePrefix('/', Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaManager.GetMediaUrl(image,mediaUrlOptions));
