Question

I am using Laravel 4. I would like to access the current URL inside an @if condition in a view using the Laravel\'s Blade templating engine but I don\'t know ho

Answer 1

There are two ways to do that:

<li{!!(Request::is('your_url')) ? ' class="active"' : '' !!}>

or

<li @if(Request::is('your_url'))class="active"@endif>

Answer 2

Set this code to applied automatically for each <li> + you need to using HTMLBuilder library in your Laravel project

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.list-group a[href="/{{Request::path()}}"]').addClass('active');
    });
</script>

Answer 3

The simplest way is

<li class="{{ Request::is('contacts/*') ? 'active' : '' }}">Dashboard</li>

This colud capture the contacts/, contacts/create, contacts/edit...

Answer 4

A little old but this works in L5:

<li class="{{ Request::is('mycategory/', '*') ? 'active' : ''}}">

This captures both /mycategory and /mycategory/slug

Answer 5

A simple navbar with bootstrap can be done as:

    <li class="{{ Request::is('user/profile')? 'active': '' }}">
        <a href="{{ url('user/profile') }}">Profile </a>
    </li>

Answer 6

The simplest way is to use: Request::url();

But here is a complex way:

URL::to('/').'/'.Route::getCurrentRoute()->getPath();
