\##Active Helper active helper is a simple active state system for your links in laravel 4 ###How to install Add the following line in your `composer.json`

```
"digithis/activehelper": "dev-master"

```

Then run `composer update`

In `app/config.app.php`, add the following line to the `providers` array

```
'Digithis\Activehelper\ActivehelperServiceProvider',

```

In the `aliases` array, add the following line

```
'Active'  => 'Digithis\Activehelper\ActiveFacade',

```

\###How to use Create a link and its current state :

```
echo Active::link('users', URL::to('users'), 'Show all users');
```

This means that if the current request is `users`, class for link is `.active`

Add several more routes as a first parameter :

```
echo Active::link(array('users', 'user/add', 'user/edit'), URL::to('users'), 'Show all users');
```

Use `*` as a pattern or exclude routes with `not:` :

```
echo Active::link(array('user*','not:user/edit'), URL::to('users'), 'Show all users');
```

This means that if the request begins with `user` but is not `user/edit`, class for link is `.active`

Set your own attributes if you wish:

```
echo Active::link(array('group*','not:groups*'), URL::to('group'), 'Show group', array('id' => 'mycustomid'));
```

You can also only get the current state (boolean)

```
$state = Active::is('page*','not:pages*');
```

And return the active class if the routes are matched

```
Active::classes('page*', 'not:pages*');

// Returns 'active'
```
