How to create dynamic route link in my navbar

Question

I want to create dynamic route on my navbar and redirect it to http://localhost:8000/tasks/nenad page

Web.php

Route::get('/tasks/{first_name}', 'Viewercontroller@profile')
    ->middleware('viewer')
    ->name('profile');

ViewerController

public function profile($first_name) {
    $user = User::whereFirst_name($first_name)->first();
    return view('viewers/tasks', compact('user'));
}

Navbar.blade.php:

  <li><a href="{{ url(route('profile')) }}">Tasks</a></li>

I know that i have to change link on my navbar page but doesn't know how, any help will be great...

Answer 1

it won't work because your route expects a parameter, so you have to indicate on your navbar.blade.php the parameter you want to pass.

For example I'll assume you have a user saved on $user, then you would do this:

route('profile', ['first_name' => $user->name]);
