Laravel: How to Get Current Route Name? (v5 ... v7)

Found a way to find the current route name works for laravel v5 , v5.1.28 and v5.2.10

Namespace

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

and

$currentPath= Route::getFacadeRoot()->current()->uri();

For Laravel laravel v5.3 you can just use:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::currentRouteName();

Using Laravel 5.1, you can use

\Request::route()->getName()

If you want to select menu on multiple routes you may do like this:

<li class="{{ (Request::is('products/*') || Request::is('products') || Request::is('product/*') ? 'active' : '') }}"><a href="{{url('products')}}"><i class="fa fa-code-fork"></i>&nbsp; Products</a></li>

Or if you want to select just single menu you may simply do like this:

<li class="{{ (Request::is('/users') ? 'active' : '') }}"><a href="{{url('/')}}"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i>&nbsp; Users</a></li>

Also tested in Laravel 5.2

Hope this help someone.

Try this

Route::getCurrentRoute()->getPath();

or

\Request::route()->getName()

from v5.1

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
$currentPath= Route::getFacadeRoot()->current()->uri();

Laravel v5.2

Route::currentRouteName(); //use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Or if you need the action name

Route::getCurrentRoute()->getActionName();

Retrieving The Request URI

The path method returns the request's URI. So, if the incoming request is targeted at http://example.com/foo/bar, the path method will return foo/bar:

$uri = $request->path();

The is method allows you to verify that the incoming request URI matches a given pattern. You may use the * character as a wildcard when utilizing this method:

if ($request->is('admin/*')) {
    //
}

To get the full URL, not just the path info, you may use the url method on the request instance:

$url = $request->url();

Laravel v5.3 ... v5.8

$route = Route::current();

$name = Route::currentRouteName();

$action = Route::currentRouteAction();
