Laravel active menu item for url included parameters

There is also the following if you have named your route :

<li class="{{ Request::routeIs('admin') ? 'active' : '' }}">...</li>

Inspired from here

Use is() method. For example:

<li class="{{ request()->is('sites/*/edit') ? 'active' : '' }}"

I am currently using Laravel 5.6.* and my solution is:

<a href="#" class="nav-link {{ request()->is('users*') ? 'active' : '' }}">Users</a>
