README

Laravel helper that detects active navigation menu items and applies bootstrap classes. This is an implementation of https://github.com/laravelista/Ekko. In this implementation, you can use it with resouce name too.

Installation

First, pull in the package through Composer.

"require": {
    "lucadello91/laravel-active": "^2.0"
}

And then, if using Laravel 5 or 4, include the service provider within app/config/app.php.

'providers' => [
    Lucadello91\Active\LaravelActiveServiceProvider::class
];

And, for convenience, add a facade alias to this same file at the bottom:

'aliases' => [
    'Active'    => Lucadello91\Active\Facades\LaravelActive::class
];

Usage

You would most likely use this package in your navbar partial like so:

<li>
    <a href="{{ route('home') }}" class="{{ Active::isActiveRoute('home') }}">
        <i class="halflings white home"></i> Home
    </a>
</li>

<li>
    <a href="#" class="{{ Active::areActiveRoutes(['murter', 'kornati']) }}">
        <i class="halflings white screenshot"></i> Location
    </a>
    <ul>
        <li>
            <a href="{{ route('murter') }}">Murter</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="{{ route('kornati') }}">Kornati</a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</li>

<li>
    <a href="{{ route('trips.index') }}" class="{{ Active::isActiveMatch('trips') }}">
        <i class="halflings white road"></i> Trips
    </a>
</li>
