I had the following scenario: In a bootstrap admin theme I wanted the items in the Menu to pe marked as ACTIVE if I was on a certain controller. I had to write a lot of code everytime so i made a blade tag for quick access to the rule. Example how to use:

```

                        @lang('admin.menu.dashboard')

```

Explanation: if the current controller is DashboardController the script will echo "active" so that the menu highlights. You can replace `active` with any class you want to add to the active menu items. This is a quick and rough package so if you want to make impovements, fork commit & merge request.

I wanted to have this for further Laravel projects.

Installation: Add `"filipac/menu-active-check": "~1.0"` to the require section of composer.json Run `composer update`In /app/config/app.php add the following to the end of **providers** array

```
'Filipac\MenuActiveCheck\MenuActiveCheckServiceProvider',

```

You are done, now you can use `{@checkActive ControllerName|css-active-class}` in your blade files!
