How to get the Current URL inside the @if Statement in Laravel?

To get the current URL you can use the methods explained in the example below −

Example 1

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;

class UserController extends Controller {
   public function index(Request $request) {
      return view('test');
   }
}

The test.blade.php is −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      body {
         font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;
      }
   </style>
</head>
<body class="antialiased">
   <div>
      @if (Request::path() == 'users')
         <h1>The path is users</h1>
      @endif
   </div>
</body>
</html>

Inside the test.blade.php the Request::path() is used to check if it points to users and then only the h1 tag is displayed. The Request::path() returns the current URL being used.

Example 2

In this example let us make use of url()->current() method as shown in the example below. The url()->current() gives the current URL full path.

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;

class UserController extends Controller {
   public function index(Request $request) {
      return view('test');
   }
}

Test.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      body {
         font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;
      }
   </style>
</head>
<body class="antialiased">
   <div>
      @if (url()->current() == 'http://localhost:8000/users')
         <h1>The path is users</h1>
      @endif
   </div>
</body>
</html>

On executing the above example, it prints the following on the browser −

The path is users

Example 3

In this example will make use of Request::url() . The output of it is same as url()->current() , it return the full URL as shown in the example below −

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;

class UserController extends Controller {
   public function index(Request $request) {
      return view('test');
   }
}

Test.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      body {
         font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;
      }
   </style>
</head>
<body class="antialiased">
   <div>
      @if (Request::url() == 'http://localhost:8000/users')
         <h1>The path is users</h1>
      @endif
   </div>
</body>
</html>

On executing the above example, it prints the following on the browser −

The path is users

Example 4

Using the Request::is()

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;

class UserController extends Controller{
   public function index(Request $request) {
      return view('test');
   }
}

Test.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      body {
         font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;
      }
   </style>
</head>
<body class="antialiased">
   <div>
      @if (Request::is('users'))
         <h1>The path is users</h1>
      @endif
   </div>
</body>
</html>
