How to Get the Current URL Inside @if Statement (Blade) in Laravel 4?

Question

I am using Laravel 4. I would like to access the current URL inside an @if condition in a view using the Laravel's Blade templating engine but I don't know how to do it.

I know that it can be done using something like <?php echo URL::current(); ?> but It's not possible inside an @if blade statement.

Any suggestions?

did any answer below help with your issue ?

You can use: Request::url() to obtain the current URL, here is an example:

@if(Request::url() === 'your url here')
    // code
@endif

Laravel offers a method to find out, whether the URL matches a pattern or not

if (Request::is('admin/*'))
{
    // code
}

Check the related documentation to obtain different request information: http://laravel.com/docs/requests#request-information

<li{{ (Request::is('admin/dashboard') ? ' class="active"' : '') }}> i tried this, failed :x

Joaquín L. Robles Over a year ago

In my case I was using a starting / for the URL, removing it would solve the issue

Viktor Over a year ago

I use the next format for it: <li{!! (Request::url() == url('/')) ? ' class="active"' : '' !!}> , because the format with {{ some_code }} use string encoding.

Jeff Puckett Over a year ago

url() now returns a builder instance. must use url()->current()

Ryan Over a year ago

Although I upvoted this a long time ago, today I was having trouble with it on Laravel 5.7 and eventually got this to work instead: @if (Request::path() != 'login'). Notice the lack of slash before "login", too.

You can also use Route::current()->getName() to check your route name.

Example: routes.php

Route::get('test', ['as'=>'testing', function() {
    return View::make('test');
}]);

View:

@if(Route::current()->getName() == 'testing')
    Hello This is testing
@endif

FYI, Route::is('testing') is the same as Route::current()->getName() == 'testing'.

Naveen Singh raghuvanshi Over a year ago

@Hkan No both are different, Route::is('testing') ->> testing it will not work Route::is('test') ->> test it will work Route::current()->getName() == 'testing' alias and url are differents

Hkan Over a year ago

@Naveen nope, Route::is() checks for the route name, not the path.

Jeff Puckett Over a year ago

also shorthand Route::currentRouteName()

Pathros Over a year ago

@Hkan Yeah, but that wouldn't work when working with parameters in your URL, for example, tokens ...

To get current url in blade view you can use following,

<a href="{{url()->current()}}">Current Url</a>

So as you can compare using following code,

@if (url()->current() == 'you url')
    //stuff you want to perform
@endif

If you need to get the query string in the blade as well then you can use request()->getQueryString() which is very helpful in conjunction with url()->current() as that leaves off the query string.

Mahdi Safari Over a year ago

``` @if(url()->current() == '/admin/search-result' ``` I used this code but it doesn't work?

Sagar Naliyapara Over a year ago

@MahdiSafari in that case just write @if(Request::is('admin/search-result'))

I'd do it this way:

@if (Request::path() == '/view')
    // code
@endif

where '/view' is view name in routes.php.

How to tell if the current dir is home? I mean, public/. Ahh, i got it, i just type =='public'

Jucaman Over a year ago

If home dir is '/' in route.php, you just write == '/')

Pathros Over a year ago

How would you make it work with the parameters as well? Not only the route name.

Jucaman Over a year ago

You can concatenate parameters in many ways after route name, depending on how you configured your routes.

Derk Jan Speelman Over a year ago

I do it like this: Request::url() - than you get the complete URL

A little old but this works in L5:

This captures both /mycategory and /mycategory/slug

You will get the url by using the below code.

For Example your URL like https//www.example.com/testurl?test

echo url()->current();
Result : https//www.example.com/testurl

echo url()->full();
Result: https//www.example.com/testurl?test

echo url()->full();

I get this from Laravel documents.

This does not always work if you're dealing with query string like so domain.com/?page_id=1, domain.com/?page_id=2, as those URLs also equal as "/"

I personally wouldn't try grabbing it inside of the view. I'm not amazing at Laravel, but I would imagine you'd need to send your route to a controller, and then within the controller, pass the variable (via an array) into your view, using something like $url = Request::url();.

One way of doing it anyway.

EDIT: Actually look at the method above, probably a better way.

A simple navbar with bootstrap can be done as:

        <a href="{{ url('user/profile') }}">Profile </a>

1. Check if URL = X

Simply - you need to check if URL is exactly like X and then you show something. In Controller:

if (request()->is('companies')) {
  // show companies menu or something
}

In Blade file - almost identical:

@if (request()->is('companies'))
  Companies menu
@endif

2. Check if URL contains X

A little more complicated example - method Request::is() allows a pattern parameter, like this:

if (request()->is('companies/*')) {
  // will match URL /companies/999 or /companies/create
}

3. Check route by its name

As you probably know, every route can be assigned to a name, in routes/web.php file it looks something like this:

Route::get('/companies', function () {
  return view('companies');
})->name('comp');

So how can you check if current route is 'comp'? Relatively easy:

if (\Route::current()->getName() == 'comp') {
  // We are on a correct route!
}

4. Check by routes names

If you are using routes by names, you can check if request matches routes name.

if (request()->routeIs('companies.*')) {
  // will match routes which name starts with companies.
}

Or

request()->route()->named('profile')

Will match route named profile. So these are four ways to check current URL or route.

The question is about Laravel 4, and this is based on a tutorial for Laravel 9. Request::is('companies') is how it's done in Laravel 4.

The simplest way is to use: Request::url();

But here is a complex way:

URL::to('/').'/'.Route::getCurrentRoute()->getPath();

Set this code to applied automatically for each <li> + you need to using HTMLBuilder library in your Laravel project

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.list-group a[href="/{{Request::path()}}"]').addClass('active');

instead of using the URL::path() to check your current path location, you may want to consider the Route::currentRouteName() so just in case you update your path, you don't need to explore all your pages to update the path name again.
