I have installed a fresh laravel 8 project, scaffolded auth with jetstream using Inertia and have then added Ziggy to work with Laravel's routing.
If I console.log(Ziggy.namedRoutes) I can see all of my routes, however if I run route().current() it always return undefined.
// web.php
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:sanctum', 'verified']], function () {
Route::get('dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('dashboard');
});
// app.js
// As per the Inertia documentation
Vue.prototype.$route = (...args) => route(...args)
// Layout.vue
<template>
Route: {{ $route().current() }}
</template>
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
It looks like your implementation is a bit different then what is in the docs
Vue.prototype.$route = (...args) => route(...args).url()
Not sure if current() doesn't work because of the missing .url() or because there is another issue.
I experienced the same problem and ultimately noticed that it was only happening when I was developing using Browsersync. The issue was that Ziggy was not providing route().current() when the URL included a port number, even though Ziggy seems to be aware of the port number in it's Router object.
But if I change from http://myapp.local:3000 to http://myapp.local then I can do {{ route().current() }} in a template then even without the $ and without the Vue.prototype.$route... and it works just fine.
I haven't been able to find out how to make it work with URLs which have a port number so if anyone has any idea please let me know!
Same problem - I solved it by ignoring the route().current() function and replaced it with the expression
(this.route(item.route) == location.pathname)
Solved it this way
this.$route().current()
I had the same issue with browsersync and my search brought me here at first. After doing a little digging I found if I commented out APP_URL from my .env file the route().current() function started working again.
Got the idea from this thread: https://github.com/tighten/ziggy/issues/125
@aalabiso Same issue. It works for me
Maybe the package has been updated Docs says it should be used like this...
route()->current('your_route_name', routes_params)
