Answer 1

You could do something like this

$active = false;
foreach($lists as $list){
    echo '<li class="'.(!$active ? 'active' : '').'">'. $list .'</li>';
    $active = true;
}

Answer 2

Try this

$counter = 0;
foeach($lists as $list){
if($counter==0)
 echo '<li class="active">'. $list .'</li>';
else
 echo '<li class="">'. $list .'</li>';
   $counter++;
}

Answer 3

If you want to set active to first <li> element, then you can do like this.

foeach($lists as $key => $list){
       if($key == 0){
           echo '<li class="active">'. $list .'</li>';
       }else{
        echo '<li class="">'. $list .'</li>';
      }
}

Answer 4

If you are using Laravel 5.3 or higher you can use this

@foreach($lists as $list)
<li @if($loop->iteration == 1) class="active" @endif>{{ $list }}</li>
@endforeach

Answer 5

You have to impose some kind of condition on value or index of array. Suppose we have to put active class on first element

// track array by its index and first element has index 0
foreach($list as $index => $list)
{
   // if index is 0 then put active class to list with ternary condition
   echo '<li class="'.(($index==0)?'active':'').'">'. $list.'</li>';
}
