How is it customary in Laravel to set the active option for a menu item (bootstrap 4)?

Question

Laravel

Hello.
Standard situation: you need to display the menu item as active depending on the current uri.
Without using javascript.
How does Laravel deal with this issue?
Where exactly to render menu depending on uri?
It so happens to me there that for one menu - in fact, several controllers (the pages have different functionality)
That is, rendering in controllers is not an option. I also don’t really want to shove a lot of code into the view ...
What do you advise?
Thank you.

So far I've found this to show:

<li class="{{ Request::is('products*') ? 'active' : '' }}">

    <a href="{!! route('products.index') !!}"><span>Products</span></a>

</li>



<li class="{{ Request::is('tags*') ? 'active' : '' }}">

    <a href="{!! route('tags.index') !!}"><span>Tags</span></a>

</li>



<li class="{{ Request::is('items*') ? 'active' : '' }}">

    <a href="{!! route('items.index') !!}"><span>Items</span></a>

</li>

Well, why not... but I just want to somehow put url masks together - write the names of the routes - is this possible?

Check the active route.
Even if the URL of the page changes, by the name of the route it will be available and nothing will break.

Yes, it's possible, but what's the problem?
