Get the current and previous url in Livewire.
=============================================

[](#get-the-current-and-previous-url-in-livewire)

This package gives you a simple way to **retrieve the current and previous URL** in Livewire.

Unfortunately, Laravel or Livewire **cannot handle** this for you, since Livewire also makes requests to your server when a user interacts with your webpage. This means that the usual methods like `URL()->current()` **point to an internal Livewire** route, instead of the **"real route" your user is on**.

This package provides you with a middleware and **helper methods to determine which URL is currently being used**.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require ralphjsmit/livewire-urls
```

Next, you should add `\RalphJSmit\Livewire\Urls\Middleware\LivewireUrlsMiddleware::class,` to your Http `Kernel.php`, in the `web` key of the `$middlewareGroups` property.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Current url

[](#current-url)

```
use RalphJSmit\Livewire\Urls\Facades\Url;

$currentUrl = Url::current();
```

### Current route

[](#current-route)

```
$currentRouteName = Url::currentRoute();
```

The `Url::currentRoute()` returns `null` when the user is on a route without a name.

### Previous url

[](#previous-url)

```
$previousUrl = Url::previous();
```

The `Url::previous()`-method returns `null` when there isn't a previous route available.

### Previous route

[](#previous-route)

```
$previousRouteName = Url::previousRoute();
```

The `Url::previousRoute()` returns `null` when there isn't a previous route or if the previous route wasn't a named route.

### Last recorded url

[](#last-recorded-url)

You can use the `Url::lastRecorded()` method to get the last url from the history that is *different* from the current url.

For example:

1. User visits page A
2. User visits page B
3. User visits page B

The `Url::lastRecorded()` would give you the url of page A. The function returns `null` when there isn't an other url found, apart from the current session.

```
$lastRecordedUrl = Url::lastRecorded();
```

### Last recorded route

[](#last-recorded-route)

You can use the `Url::lastRecordedRoute()` method to get the last route from the history that is *different* from the current url/route.

```
$lastRecordedRoute = Url::lastRecordedRoute();
```

The `Url::lastRecordedRoute()` would give you the route of page A from the previous example, **if page A is on a named route**. Otherwise, it would return `null`. The function also returns `null` when there isn't an other url found, apart from the current session.
