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?

Answer 1

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

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
