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

In Laravel v4 I was able to get the current route name using...

Route::currentRouteName()

How can I do it in Laravel v5 and Laravel v6?

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();

Laravel 5.2 route documentation

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();

Laravel 5.3 route documentation

Laravel v6.x...7.x

$route = Route::current();

$name = Route::currentRouteName();

$action = Route::currentRouteAction();

** Current as of Nov 11th 2019 - version 6.5 **

Laravel 6.x route documentation

There is an option to use request to get route

$request->route()->getName();

Using Laravel 5.1, you can use

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

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();

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.

If you need url, not route name, you do not need to use/require any other classes:

url()->current();

Laravel 5.2 You can use

$request->route()->getName()

It will give you current route name.

In 5.2, you can use the request directly with:

$request->route()->getName();

or via the helper method:

request()->route()->getName();

Output example:

"home.index"

Shortest way is Route facade \Route::current()->getName()

This also works in laravel 5.4.*

Accessing The Current Route

Get current route name in Blade templates

{{ Route::currentRouteName() }}

for more info https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/routing#accessing-the-current-route

In a controller action, you could just do:

public function someAction(Request $request)
{
    $routeName = $request->route()->getName();
}

$request here is resolved by Laravel's service container.

getName() returns the route name for named routes only, null otherwise (but you could still explore the \Illuminate\Routing\Route object for something else of interest).

In other words, you should have your route defined like this to have "nameOfMyRoute" returned:

Route::get('my/some-action', [
    'as' => 'nameOfMyRoute',
    'uses' => 'MyController@someAction'
]);

You can use in template:

<?php $path = Route::getCurrentRoute()->getPath(); ?>
<?php if (starts_with($path, 'admin/')) echo "active"; ?>

You can use bellow code to get route name in blade file

request()->route()->uri

Request::path(); is better, and remember to use Request;

Now in Laravel 5.3 I am seeing that can be made similarly you tried:

$route = Route::current();

$name = Route::currentRouteName();

$action = Route::currentRouteAction();

https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/routing#accessing-the-current-route

Accessing The Current Route(v5.3 onwards)

You may use the current, currentRouteName, and currentRouteAction methods on the Route facade to access information about the route handling the incoming request:

$route = Route::current();

$name = Route::currentRouteName();

$action = Route::currentRouteAction();

Refer to the API documentation for both the underlying class of the Route facade and Route instance to review all accessible methods.

Reference : https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/routing#accessing-the-current-route

In laravel 7 or 8 use helper function

> Get Current Route Name

request()->route()->getName()

> To check if route is current better to create your own method for request class using macro

In AppServiceProvider In boot method :

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
public function boot()
    {
        Request::macro('isCurrentRoute', function ($routeNames) {
            return in_array(
                request()->route()->getName(),
                is_array($routeNames) ? $routeNames : explode(",", $routeNames)
            );
        });
    }

> You can used this method in blade or controller

request()->isCurrentRoute('foo') // string route
request()->isCurrentRoute(['bar','foo']) //array routes
request()->isCurrentRoute('blogs,foo,bar') //string route seperated by comma

> You can use inbuilt laravel route method

route()->is('home');
route()->is('blogs.*'); //using wildcard

$request->route()->getName();

In my opinion the most easiest solution is using this helper:

request()->route()->getName()

For the docs, see this link

first thing you may do is import namespace on the top of class.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

laravel v8

$route = Route::current(); // Illuminate\Routing\Route
$name = Route::currentRouteName(); // RouteName
$action = Route::currentRouteAction(); // Action

Laravel v7,6 and 5.8

$route = Route::current();

$name = Route::currentRouteName();

$action = Route::currentRouteAction();

I have used for getting route name in larvel 5.3

Request::path()

Looking at \Illuminate\Routing\Router.php you can use the method currentRouteNamed() by injecting a Router in your controller method. For example:

use Illuminate\Routing\Router;
public function index(Request $request, Router $router) {
   return view($router->currentRouteNamed('foo') ? 'view1' : 'view2');
}

or using the Route facade:

public function index(Request $request) {
   return view(\Route::currentRouteNamed('foo') ? 'view1' : 'view2');
}

You could also use the method is() to check if the route is named any of the given parameters, but beware this method uses preg_match() and I've experienced it to cause strange behaviour with dotted route names (like 'foo.bar.done'). There is also the matter of performance around preg_match() which is a big subject in the PHP community.

public function index(Request $request) {
    return view(\Route::is('foo', 'bar') ? 'view1' : 'view2');
}

Solution :

$routeArray = app('request')->route()->getAction();
$controllerAction = class_basename($routeArray['controller']);
list($controller, $route) = explode('@', $controllerAction);
echo $route;

You can use below method :

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

In Laravel version > 6.0, You can use below methods:

$route = Route::current();

$name = Route::currentRouteName();

$action = Route::currentRouteAction();

Accesing the Current Route Name in Controller

ie - http://localhost/your_project_name/edit

$request->segment(1);  // edit

( or )

$request->url();  // http://localhost/your_project_name/edit

use laravel helper and magic methods

request()->route()->getName()

In a Helper file,

Your can use Route::current()->uri() to get current URL.

Hence, If you compare your route name to set active class on menu then it would be good if you use

Route::currentRouteName() to get the name of route and compare

for some reasons, I couldn't use any of these solutions. so I just declared my route in web.php as $router->get('/api/v1/users', ['as' => 'index', 'uses' => 'UserController@index']) and in my controller I got the name of the route using $routeName = $request->route()[1]['as']; which $request is \Illuminate\Http\Request $request typehinted parameter in index method of UserController

using Lumen 5.6. Hope it would help someone.

You can used this line of code : url()->current()

In blade file : {{url()->current()}}

There are lots of ways to do that. You can type:

\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request::route()->getName()

To get route name.

no one have answer if route name or url id needed on view direct for the route name on view direct

$routeName = Request::route()->getName();

for the id from url on view

$url_id = Request::segment(2);

\Request::path()

I use this to get current uri

Here is what i use, i don't know why no one mentioned it, because it worked perfectly fine for me.

Route::getCurrentRoute()->uri ; // this returns a string like '/home'

So i use it in my master.blade.php file :

...

@if ( Route::getCurrentRoute()->uri =='/dashbord' )
   @include('navbar')
@endif
...

witch really helped me re use the same views without duplicating code.
