[5.2] Get current route name in Blade templates

Hi all,

This seems to be a simple question but I can't figure out how to do it.

I need to know what is the current route name in a Blade template to be able to do something like:

@if ($currentRoute == 'homepage') 
...
@endif

Im using Laravel 5.2 Can someone help me on this?

Thanks in advance!

You can use the url() global function:

url()->current()

@SergioGregorutti did you read the documentation?

// Example from documentation
$name = Route::currentRouteName();

Edit: Also just because something works in 5.3 it doesn't mean it won't work in 5.2. Most of the code is the same.

That's not even valid blade syntax
