Programmatically get current multi-site instance name

Question

Let's say I have the following multi-site setup:

$sites['hello-world-a.com']       = 'a';
$sites['stage.hello-world-a.com'] = 'a';
$sites['dev.hello-world-a.com']   = 'a';
$sites['hello-world-a.localhost'] = 'a';

$sites['hello-world-b.com']       = 'b';
$sites['stage.hello-world-b.com'] = 'b';
$sites['dev.hello-world-b.com']   = 'b';
$sites['hello-world-b.localhost'] = 'b';

Works fine. Both share the same theme and more or less the same features. Now let's say I have a very simple preprocess function that adds a CSS class to the body:

/**
 * Implements template_preprocess_html().
 */
function MYTHEME_preprocess_html(&$variables) {

  $variables['attributes']['class'][] = 'foo';

}

How can I now add the multi-site instance's name as body class dynamically?

• Without going through all possible domain names and string comparison?
• Also possibly without working with the human readable site name, which may change?
• Maybe with cache contexts?
• Or UUID?

/**
 * Implements template_preprocess_html().
 */
function MYTHEME_preprocess_html(&$variables) {

  $variables['attributes']['class'][] = 'foo';

  // Basically along the following pattern.
  if ( @@@ SITE A @@@ ) {
    $variables['attributes']['class'][] = @@@ SITE A @@@;
  }

}

Thanks to @Clive for telling me about DrupalKernel::findSitePath which takes the current $request to then return the path of the matching multi-site directory.

And thanks to @4k4 for the tip that there's also a service for that. But this service got deprecated in Drupal 9 and will have been removed from Drupal 10, so back to to DrupalKernel::findSitePath. This works in Drupal 8, 9 and 10:

/**
 * Implements template_preprocess_html().
 */
function MYTHEME_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
  
  // This will get you a string for example: 'sites/default'.
  $site_path = \Drupal\Core\DrupalKernel::findSitePath(\Drupal::request());

  // Explode it to only get the 'default' part in the next step.
  $site_path = explode('/', $site_path);
  $site_name = $site_path[1];

  // Add current site name as CSS class to the body.
  $variables['attributes']['class'][] = 'site-' . \Drupal\Component\Utility\Html::cleanCssIdentifier($site_name);
}

A quicker alternative is to add a $settings['current_multisite'] with the desired value on each setting.php then use it for checkings:

<?php
# settings.php of "bar" site
$settings['current_multisite'] = 'foo';

# settings.php of "bar" site
$settings['current_multisite'] = 'bar';

Then you can access it anywhere:

<?php
// Fallbacks to "null" if some multisite did not specified "current_multisite" 
$multisite = Settings::get('current_multisite');
