Changing div value dynamically, navigation bar on laravel blade

I'm currently using laravel blade and i currently implemented bootstrap along with the blade template.

Would want to have the navigation button able to interact dynamically along with the selected pages

<div class="navbar">
    <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="navbar-header">
                  <a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><b>iMakan</b></a>
           </div>
    <div>
  <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
    <li><a class="active "href="/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="about">About Us</a></li>
    <li><a href="contact">Contact Us</a></li>
    <li><a href="auth/login">Login</a></li>
    <li><a href="503">Cart</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
</div>

Laravel provides a built-in function you can use: Request::is().

From the API docs:

Determine if the current request URI matches a pattern.

You use is like this:

Request::is('about'); // returns a boolean

<a href="about" @if(Request::is('about')) class="active" @endif>

You could write a helper function to take care of it:

function isActive($path, $class = 'active')
{
    return (Request::is($path)) ? $class : '';
}

Put it in a file called helpers.php in your app directory and include it in the autoload-part of your composer.json like this:

"autoload": {
    "files": [
        "app/helpers.php"
    ]
},

Maybe you need to do a composer dump-autoload in your terminal.

And finally use it like this:

<a href="about" class="{{ isActive('about') }}">About</a>

There is a package you can use, but using only what laravel provides I would suggest the following:

<a href="{{ URL::route('home') }}" 
   class="{{ Route::current()->getName() === 'home' ? : 'active' : ''">Home</a>

Using URL::route(...) will create a URL based on the name of the route and you can check if this name is currently used with the providec check. To name a route, read the laravel documentation about routing.

Here's my way What i do, You shall follow this too

If you have the last part of url like home for Home, aboutus for About Us, then you can do this

Step 1 :

Get Request Uri

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

Step 2 :

Inside you class you can have this condition

<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/') { echo 'active'; } ?>

So you will be having 

<li><a href="about" class='<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/') { echo 'active'; } ?>' >About Us</a></li>

The condition will echo active according to your uri

So you will be having something this 

<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
    <li><a class="<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/') { echo 'active'; } ?>" href="/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a class='<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/aboutus') { echo 'active'; } ?>'href="about" >About Us</a></li>
    <li><a class='<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/contactus') { echo 'active'; } ?>'href="contact">Contact Us</a></li>
    <li><a class='<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/login') { echo 'active'; } ?>' href="auth/login">Login</a></li>
    <li><a class='<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/cart') { echo 'active'; } ?>' href="503">Cart</a></li>
  </ul>

Then you will be getting the class='active' according to your url.

Hope this helps you.
