Blade directives for Laravel 5.1+ to manage menu states in a clean an easy way.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require sahibalejandro/laravel-active-menu

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Call `@activate(...)` to specify the activated menu:

```
@activate('security_settings')
```

Now call `@active(...)` directive to know if a specified menu is active:

```

        Settings

                Security

```

This directive will print the string `active` if the given menu is activated. The example above will result on the following HTML:

```

        Settings

                Security

```

Now just add a `li.active a { ... }` styles to your CSS and you're ready.

Using dot-notation
------------------

[](#using-dot-notation)

Use dot-notation to activate the menu cascade up, for example, using this directive:

```
@activate('settings.security')
```

This will activate `settings` and `settings.security`, so the following directives will print the string `active`:

```
@active('settings')
@active('settings.security')
```

Change the class name
---------------------

[](#change-the-class-name)

You can change the class name passing it as a second parameter:

```
@active('user.account', 'link-active')
```

But I really recomend you stick to the convention and use the default value.
