Sprout Active
=============

[](#sprout-active)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Simplify navigation and URL-based logic in your templates.

Sprout Active makes it simple to control the active classname in your navigation or conditional content based on your URL segments or your full URL.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Sprout Active provides the `active` and `activeClass` Twig Filters to test for matching URL segments and output a class to make an element active.

The most simple version of these filters will match the first segment in the URL . If no match is found, they will return blank.

```
{{ active('about-us') }} {# Output if match: active #}

{{ activeClass('about-us') }} {# Output if match: class="active" #}

{{ activeClass(entry.slug) }}
```

See the documentation for more advanced use cases.
