Laravel Setting active class to navigation - css

Question

I want to set active class to my active routes, i have tried below approach but it is not working
The navside.blade.php page
<ul class="sidebar-menu collapsible collapsible-accordion" data-collapsible="accordion">
<li class="no-padding {{ Request::is('/manager/dashboard') ? 'active' : '' }}">
<a class="waves-effect waves-grey" href="{!! URL::asset('/manager/dashboard')!!}">
<i class="material-icons">settings_input_svideo</i>Dashboard
</a>
</li>
<li class="no-padding {{ Request::is('/manager/orders') ? 'active' : '' }}">
<a class="waves-effect waves-grey" href="{!! URL::asset('/manager/orders')!!}">
<i class="material-icons">shopping_cart</i>Orders
</a>
</li>
<li class="no-padding {{ Request::is('/manager/outlets') ? 'active' : '' }}">
<a class="waves-effect waves-grey" href="{!! URL::asset('/manager/outlets')!!}">
<i class="material-icons dp48">store</i>Outlets
</a>
</li>
<li class="no-padding {{ Request::is('/manager/reports') ? 'active' : '' }}">
<a class="waves-effect waves-grey" href="{!! URL::asset('/manager/reports')!!}">
<i class="material-icons dp48">receipt</i>Reports
</a>
</li>
<li class="no-padding {{ Request::is('/manager/manage') ? 'active' : '' }}">
<a class="waves-effect waves-grey" href="{!! URL::asset('/manager/manage')!!}">
<i class="material-icons dp48">input</i>Manage
</a>
</li>
</ul>
And my routes are
Route::group(['prefix' => 'manager', 'middleware' => ['auth','roles'], 'roles' => 'manager'], function() {
Route::get('/dashboard', 'ManagerController#index')->name('dashboard');
Route::get('/orders', 'OrdersController#index')->name('orders');
Route::get('/orders/{order_id}', 'OrdersController#show')->name('orderDetails');
Route::post('/assign_orders', 'OrdersController#assignDeliveryBoy')->name('assignOrder');
Route::get('/outlets', 'OutletsController#index')->name('outlets');
Route::get('/reports', 'ReportsController#index')->name('reports');
});
I did tried some different approaches like
1 {{ Request::segment(1) === 'programs' ? 'active' : null }}
2 class="#if(Request::url()== url('/home') active #endif"
but they din't work ether
thank you

You can try:
(Route::current()->getName() == 'routename') ? 'active' : null
You also can make it a helper function instead of copy pasting the full if statement.
