Active States based on Route names
Submitted by chadwithuhc - 11 years ago
There are a few tips already for active states on navigation, however none are based on Route names. I prefer to use Route names for all routes, so here is a modified version of the "active states" trick for route names.
/**
* Tests a route against the current URL for active state
* If true, returns 'selected' for class name
* Usage: HTML::activeState('named.route')
*/
HTML::macro('activeState', function ($route) {
return strpos(Request::url(), route($route)) !== false ? 'selected' : '';
});
/**
* - Code can be placed just about anywhere. I would recommend including a common
* file for macros.
*
* - Usage will match any resource route within a section if you pass in the base route.
* So `dashboard.reports.index` == 'dashboard/reports', then if you reside at
* `dashboard.reports.create` and try `HTML::activeState('dashboard.reports.index')`
* you will still get the active class since the root 'dashboard/resports' exists in the path.
