title: How to define route group name in laravel
body: <p>Is there any way to define the name of route group in laravel?</p>
  
  <p>What I'm trying to accomplish by this is to know that the current request belongs to which group so I can make active the main menu and sub menu by the current route action:</p>
  
  <p>Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Route::group(['prefix'=&gt;'accounts','as'=&gt;'account.'], function(){
      Route::get('/', 'AccountController@index')-&gt;name('index');
      Route::get('connect', 'AccountController@connect')-&gt;name('connect');
  });
  
  Route::group(['prefix'=&gt;'quotes','as'=&gt;'quote.'], function(){
      Route::get('/', 'QuoteController@index')-&gt;name('index');
      Route::get('connect', 'QuoteController@create')-&gt;name('create');
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Navigation HTML Code</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt; // Add class 'active' when any route is open from account route group
          &lt;a href="{{route('account.index')}}"&gt;Accounts&lt;/a&gt;
          &lt;ul&gt;
              &lt;li&gt; // Add class 'active' when connect sub menu is clicked
                  &lt;a href="{{route('account.connect')}}"&gt;Connect Account&lt;/a&gt;
              &lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt; // Add class 'active' when any route is open from quote route group
          &lt;a href="{{route('quote.index')}}"&gt;Quotes&lt;/a&gt;
          &lt;ul&gt;
              &lt;li&gt; // Add class 'active' when create sub menu is clicked
                  &lt;a href="{{route('quote.create')}}"&gt;Create Quote&lt;/a&gt;
              &lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now what I want is to call a function or something which will give me the current route's group name.</p>
  
  <p>Examples:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>If I'm on index or create page of quotes <code>getCurrentRouteGroup()</code> should return <code>quote</code></li>
  <li>If I'm on index or connect page of accounts <code>getCurrentRouteGroup()</code> should return <code>account</code></li>
  </ol>
