## Frontend {#frontend}

The `routing` frontend request attribute provides routing information in
the object `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Routing\PageArguments`. If you want to know the
current page ID or retrieve the query parameters this attribute is your friend.

Example:

```php
/** @var \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface $request */
$pageArguments = $request->getAttribute('routing');
$pageId = $pageArguments->getPageId();
```
