How to Get the Current URL Inside @if Statement (Blade) in Laravel 4?

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

I'd do it this way:

@if (Request::path() == '/view')
    // code
@endif

where '/view' is view name in routes.php.

Answer 2

You can use: Request::url() to obtain the current URL, here is an example:

@if(Request::url() === 'your url here')
    // code
@endif

Laravel offers a method to find out, whether the URL matches a pattern or not

if (Request::is('admin/*'))
{
    // code
}

Check the related documentation to obtain different request information: http://laravel.com/docs/requests#request-information

This is helped to me for bootstrap active nav class in Laravel 5.2:

<li class="{{ Request::path() == '/' ? 'active' : '' }}"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li class="{{ Request::path() == 'about' ? 'active' : '' }}"><a href="/about">About</a></li>

Answer 4

For me this works best:

class="{{url()->current() == route('dashboard') ? 'bg-gray-900 text-white' : 'text-gray-300'}}"
