Laravel current route name contains

I have a group of routes like so:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'messages'], function () {
    Route::post('/', ['as' => 'messages.store', 'uses' => 'MessagesController@store']);
    Route::get('{id}', ['as' => 'messages.show', 'uses' => 'MessagesController@show']);
    Route::put('{id}', ['as' => 'messages.update', 'uses' => 'MessagesController@update']);
    Route::get('{id}/read', ['as' => 'messages.read', 'uses' => 'MessagesController@read']); // ajax + Pusher
});

In my side bar I'd like to highlight the area the user is in when they click on any of these routes:

<li class="d-flex flex-column {{ (Route::currentRouteName() == 'messages') ? 'active' : '' }}">

This would work if the route was 'messages'. is there away I can do it to be like Route::currentRouteNameContains... Obviously that's not a Laravel method but how can I have it active if it CONTAINS messages?

Upd: Laravel 9+

Now you can use Route facade.

Route::is("messages*")

See str_contains helper function

<li class="d-flex flex-column {{ str_contains(Route::currentRouteName(), 'messages') ? 'active' : '' }}">

Beware that this would return true even if the route is /user/chat/messages/unread which is probably not what you want

You may look at starts_with

<li class="d-flex flex-column {{ starts_with(Route::currentRouteName(), 'messages') ? 'active' : '' }}">

Laravel 6+ users

The helper functions no longer ship with the default installation

You need to install the laravel/helpers package

composer require laravel/helpers

You can use getPrefix() helper function, too.

{{ request()->route()->getPrefix() === '/messages' ? 'active' : '' }}

Also you can use Route facades to do this. result will same with first

{{ Route::current()->getPrefix() === '/messages' ? 'active' : '' }}

Or combine basename() like below

{{ basename(request()->route()->getPrefix()) === 'messages' ? 'active' : '' }}
