Creating Highlighting Menus in Laravel Blade Using Request
A Guide Using Request Method
Introduction
In the dynamic landscape of web development, creating menus that dynamically highlight the active page is essential for a seamless user experience. In this guide, we'll explore how to achieve this in Laravel Blade using the request method.
Step 1: Create a Blade View with Request Method
Develop a partial Blade view for your menu, this time utilizing the Request::is() method to determine the active menu item based on the current request path.
<!-- resources/views/layouts/partials/menu.blade.php -->
<ul>
<li class="{{ Request::is('/') ? 'active' : '' }}">
<a href="{{ url('/') }}">Home</a>
</li>
<!-- Add more menu items using Request::is() as needed -->
</ul>
Step 2: Apply SEO-Friendly Styles with CSS (Same as Previous Blog)
Ensure your styles contribute positively to your site's SEO, with the 'active' class dynamically applied to the current page.
/* public/css/style.css */
ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 20px;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #333;
}
.active {
font-weight: bold;
color: #ff6600; /* Adjust the color as needed */
}
Step 3: Include the Dynamic Menu in Your Layout (Same as Previous Blog)
Integrate the menu partial into your main layout file for a dynamic and user-friendly navigation experience.
<!-- resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Laravel App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/style.css') }}">
</head>
<body>
@include('layouts.partials.menu')
@yield('content')
</body>
</html>
By implementing dynamic menus using the request method, you'll create a user-friendly navigation experience that adapts to the current page, promoting engagement and a positive user journey.
