How to define route group name in laravel

Question

Is there any way to define the name of route group in laravel?

What I\'m trying to accomplish by this is to know that the current request belongs to which group so I

Answer 1

It should work-

inside blade-

{{ $yourRouteName = \Request::route()->getName() }}

// Find the first occurrence of account in URL-

@if(strpos($routeName, 'account.') === 0)
  console the message or your code
@endif

Answer 2

This should work:

Route::group(['prefix'=>'accounts','as'=>'account.'], function(){
    Route::get('/', ['as' => 'index', 'uses' => 'AccountController@index']);
    Route::get('connect', ['as' => 'connect', 'uses' = > 'AccountController@connect']);
});

Look here for an explanation and in the official documentation (under Route Groups & Named Routes).

Update

{{ $routeName = \Request::route()->getName() }}

@if(strpos($routeName, 'account.') === 0)
    // do something
@endif

Alternative from Rohit Khatri

function getCurrentRouteGroup() {
    $routeName = Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route::current()->getName();
    return explode('.',$routeName)[0];
}

Answer 3

Try this

Route::group(['prefix'=>'accounts','as'=>'account.'], function(){

Route::get('connect', [
'as' => 'connect', 'uses' => 'AccountController@connect'
]);

});

Answer 4

// both the format of defining the prefix are working,tested on laravel 5.6

Route::group(['prefix'=>'accounts','as'=>'account.'], function() {
    Route::get('/', 'SomeController@index')->name('test');
    Route::get('/new', function(){
            return redirect()->route('account.test');
    });
});

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'as' => 'admin.'], function () {
    Route::get('/', [
        'as' => 'custom',
        'uses' => 'SomeController@index'
    ]);  

    Route::get('/custom', function(){
        return route('admin.custom');
    });
});
