How to define route group name in laravel

Question

Is there any way to define the name of route group in laravel?

What I'm trying to accomplish by this is to know that the current request belongs to which group so I can make active the main menu and sub menu by the current route action:

Code:

Route::group(['prefix'=>'accounts','as'=>'account.'], function(){
    Route::get('/', 'AccountController@index')->name('index');
    Route::get('connect', 'AccountController@connect')->name('connect');
});

Route::group(['prefix'=>'quotes','as'=>'quote.'], function(){
    Route::get('/', 'QuoteController@index')->name('index');
    Route::get('connect', 'QuoteController@create')->name('create');
});

Navigation HTML Code

<ul>
    <li> // Add class 'active' when any route is open from account route group
        <a href="{{route('account.index')}}">Accounts</a>
        <ul>
            <li> // Add class 'active' when connect sub menu is clicked
                <a href="{{route('account.connect')}}">Connect Account</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li> // Add class 'active' when any route is open from quote route group
        <a href="{{route('quote.index')}}">Quotes</a>
        <ul>
            <li> // Add class 'active' when create sub menu is clicked
                <a href="{{route('quote.create')}}">Create Quote</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

Now what I want is to call a function or something which will give me the current route's group name.

Examples:

1. If I'm on index or create page of quotes getCurrentRouteGroup() should return quote
2. If I'm on index or connect page of accounts getCurrentRouteGroup() should return account

Answer 1

This should work:

Route::group(['prefix'=>'accounts','as'=>'account.'], function(){
    Route::get('/', ['as' => 'index', 'uses' => 'AccountController@index']);
    Route::get('connect', ['as' => 'connect', 'uses' = > 'AccountController@connect']);
});

Look here for an explanation and in the official documentation (under Route Groups & Named Routes).

Update

{{ $routeName = \Request::route()->getName() }}

@if(strpos($routeName, 'account.') === 0)
    // do something
@endif

Alternative from Rohit Khatri

function getCurrentRouteGroup() {
    $routeName = Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route::current()->getName();
    return explode('.',$routeName)[0];
}

Answer 2

// both the format of defining the prefix are working,tested on laravel 5.6

Route::group(['prefix'=>'accounts','as'=>'account.'], function() {
    Route::get('/', 'SomeController@index')->name('test');
    Route::get('/new', function(){
            return redirect()->route('account.test');
    });
});

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'as' => 'admin.'], function () {
    Route::get('/', [
        'as' => 'custom',
        'uses' => 'SomeController@index'
    ]);  

    Route::get('/custom', function(){
        return route('admin.custom');
    });
}); 

Answer 3

Try this

Route::group(['prefix'=>'accounts','as'=>'account.'], function(){

Route::get('connect', [
'as' => 'connect', 'uses' => 'AccountController@connect'
]);

});

Answer 4

It should work-

inside blade-

{{ $yourRouteName = \Request::route()->getName() }}

// Find the first occurrence of account in URL-

@if(strpos($routeName, 'account.') === 0)
  console the message or your code
@endif
