How to get the current route name in Laravel?

@darrion.kuhn 

In Laravel, you can use the Route::currentRouteName() method to get the current route name. This method returns the name of the route as a string.

Here is an example of how you can use it in a controller or a view:

1
2
3

$routeName = Route::currentRouteName();

echo "The current route name is: $routeName";

Alternatively, you can use the Route::getCurrentRoute() method to get an instance of the IlluminateRoutingRoute class, which has a getName() method that you can use to get the name of the current route.

2
3
4

$route = Route::getCurrentRoute();
$routeName = $route->getName();

echo "The current route name is: $routeName";

Note that the current route name is only available if the route has a name. To give a route a name, you can use the name method when defining the route in your routes file:

1

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');

You can also pass a string as an argument to the name method to specify a custom name for the route.

In Laravel, you can get the current route name using the route() helper function. This function returns the name of the current route, which you can use in your controller or view.

Here's an example of how you can get the current route name in Laravel:

1. In your controller:

1
2
3
4
5

public function index()
{
    $currentRouteName = Route::currentRouteName();
    // Use $currentRouteName as needed
}

1. In your view:

1

{{ Route::currentRouteName() }}

The currentRouteName() method returns the name of the currently matched route. If you want to get the full URL of the current route, you can use the url() helper function like this:

1

URL::current();

This will return the full URL of the current route.
