How to active menu in laravel

 
<li class="active">
    <a href="{{ route('admin.home') }}">
        <i class="fa fa-bank"></i> <span>Home</span>
    </a>
</li>

<li class="{{ ($some_condition_if_active) ? 'active' : '' }}">  

Solution 1. Exact URL

Probably, the most simple one – you just check the exact URL and see if it matches:

<li class="{{ (request()->is('admin/home')) ? 'active' : '' }}">  


Solution 2. Starting with the URL

This one is similar, but more flexible – will also match any other URL starting with the one we want, like /admin/home/subpage or /admin/home/1/edit.

We use asterisk (*) symbol for it.

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

Solution 3. Matching URL Segment

Another useful helper is to get URL segments by number.

<li class="{{ (request()->segment(2) == 'home') ? 'active' : '' }}">  

So, this one will match any URL like /admin/home, /user/home/edit etc.

Solution 4. Matching Route by Name

The one that I personally recommend. Route names is a really powerful weapon in case your URLs change for some reason. Let’s say we attached route names with this line in routes/web.php:

Route::middleware(['auth'])->prefix('admin')->name('admin.')->group(function() {
    Route::resource('home', 'Admin\HOmeController');
});

So we should match any route name like admin.home.index or admin.home.create for menu item to be active.

And here we use Route::getCurrentName() method.

<li class="{{ (strpos(Route::currentRouteName(), 'admin.home') == 0) ? 'active' : '' }}">  

In this case, all URLs assigned to our resourceful controller will be matched, like /admin/home, /admin/home/create, /admin/home/1/edit etc.
