![How To Check If Route Name Exists in Laravel 8](https://ecn-storage.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/articles/how-to-check-if-route-name-given-exists-in-laravel-8x980.webp)
Do you need to check if the route name given exists in Laravel 8? Sometimes we need to check the route name if exists. For example, if you have a dynamic menu that will call the available routes in your Laravel 8 application then show it as a menu. But if you don't check the route it will throw an error if one of the routes was deleted/removed.
Â
Using Route:has('route_name') provided by Laravel Framework it will help us to check and determine if the route exists.
Â
Okay here is a simple solution:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
class TestController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
if(Route::has('route_name')) {
//do something here
}
}
}
Â
Now you can validate if the route name exists in your Laravel application. Thanks, Hope it helps :)
