How to check url in Laravel 5.2?

Question

I am creating and hiding a certain navigation in Laravel. The navigation uses nav tag

This is my current code:

@if (Request::url() === 'login')
    <nav></nav>
@endif

Problem : I only want the tag to appear if it's not in LOGIN page.

Please help me fix the code above. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

This should work with your code.

! means IS NOT.

@if (!Request::url() === 'login')
    <nav></nav>
@endif

So this code will run when the url isn't 'login'.

---

You could also use named routes . ( https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/routing#named-routes )

Route::get('login', ['as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'ControllerName@methodName']);

Than you can check if the page is login . You can do it like this:

@if(Route::is('login'))
    This is the route 'login'
@endif

Hope this works!

Answer 2

make your login route as follows:

Route::get('login', ['as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'ControllerName@methodName']);

Now on view page just do as follows:

@if(Route::is('login'))
  <nav></nav>
@endif

This will show the 'nav' tag when route is not login Hope this helps you.

Answer 3

This should do the trick:

the '!' means NOT, so the nav shows when the url is not login.

@if (!Request::is('login')) 
        <nav>I Am a menu item</nav>
@endif
