Question

I\'ve been wondering around looking for solutions, but can\'t really understand especially when creating helpers. I\'m new in Laravel and I want a simple or if not a detaile

Answer 1

Your code is working fine, but you have to use it for every link that can be active. It is better to return only class name, not class="..." so you can add other classes.

Be careful when using * at the end (about*). If you use /* for home page then it will always be marked as active (because every other page starts with /).

You can also move {{ Request::is('/') ? 'active' : '' }} to helper function/method.
