Generating URLs and Links

use Drupal\Core\Url;
use Drupal\Core\Link;

// URL from route
$url = Url::fromRoute('my_module.page');
$url = Url::fromRoute('my_module.entity_page', ['item_id' => 42]);
$url = Url::fromRoute('entity.node.canonical', ['node' => $nid]);

// Absolute URL
$url = Url::fromRoute('my_module.page', [], ['absolute' => TRUE]);

// URL from path
$url = Url::fromUserInput('/my-page');

// Link
$link = Link::fromTextAndUrl($this->t('My Link'), $url);
$render = $link->toRenderable();
