This package currently contains:

- Checks whether the request url belongs to a pattern.
- Add url parameters to be validated.
    - Rename url parameters.
- Remove extra parameters.

### Checks whether the current request url belongs to a pattern

[](#checks-whether-the-current-request-url-belongs-to-a-pattern)

You can check whether the request url belongs to a url pattern or route pattern. Use this methods:

- `is_url($patterns, $request = null)`
- `is_route($patterns, $request = null)`

By default, `$request` is the current request.

Example: You can use this to activate a class in your menu, such as:

```

        Show courses

```

These methods accept a array as the first parameter, so that you can check various patterns:

```

        Show courses

```

Another example is that you can use it to check where the user is coming from:
