Laravel - Active Route - Prefix Wildcard

[ekcltfrm]

 <NavLink
                                    href={route("dashboard")}
                                    active={route().current("dashboard")}
                                >
                                    Your Dashboard
                                </NavLink>

This works great for the page, however I've grouped routes with prefixes. I want to check it against the parent prefix of the route. How could I modify this?

Thank you.

If you have route names like dashboard.home, dashboard.profile, dashboard.billing etc. you can call route().current('dashboard.*'). Is that what you mean?

I've grouped routes like below with a prefix.

Route::group(['prefix'=>'sl'], function () {
                Route::middleware('web', 'auth')
                ->prefix('sales')
                ->group(base_path('routes/salesroutes.php'));

                Route::middleware('web', 'auth')
                ->prefix('product')
                ->group(base_path('routes/productroutes.php'));
            });

I have a top nav bar. There is top a level item in the nav, I want it to be highlighted if current route has the "sl" prefix. I would say there is about more than 50 routes. Routes are not really named in the way you mentioned. Is that the only way to do it?

Yeah Ziggy's 'current' functionality only works with named routes. If your routes all start with /sl/ but aren't named sl.* you don't really need Ziggy to make those checks, you could do something like location.pathname.startsWith('/sl/').
