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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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();

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 **

There is an option to use request to get route

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