Is there any function available to echo current user's profile url?

Question

As of now i'm using this code to echo user's profile url.

<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>user/<?php echo $current_user->user_login ?>"><?php echo $current_user->user_login ?></a>

This link uses author base as "user". So when i change author base this link will be broken.

IS there any function available like current_user_profile_link() ?

Choosing the right template

As your "User Profile"-Page is something completely custom and not the admin UI user profile page, I'd suggest to take the uthor posts page instead:

get_author_link( true, get_current_user_id() );

Then modify this template.

Pretty URls

No need to go outside the WP template hierarchy. If you want something like ~/user, then use the Rewrite API.
