Code snippet that can be used to create URLs Programmatically in Drupal 8.
// Internal path (defined by a route in Drupal 8).
use Drupal\Core\Link;
use Drupal\Core\Url;
$internal_link = Link::fromTextAndUrl(t('Drupal nodes'), Url::fromUri('internal:/node', $options))->toString();
// External Url.
use Drupal\Core\Link;
use Drupal\Core\Url;
$external_link = Link::fromTextAndUrl(t('The Carney Effect'), Url::fromUri('http://www.thecarneyeffect.co.uk/'))->toString();
// Url with `options.
use Drupal\Core\Link;
use Drupal\Core\Url;
$options = array(
'query' => ['type' => 'article', 'status' => 1],
'fragment' => 'article-list',
'attributes' => ['class' => ['btn', 'btn-mini']],
'absolute' => TRUE,
);
$link = Link::fromTextAndUrl(t('Drupal node articles'), Url::fromUri('internal:/node', $options))->toString();
// Render type Link
use Drupal\Core\Url;
$render_array['link'] = array(
'#title' => $this->t('Link Text Goes Here!'),
'#type' => 'link',
