laravel get controller name
If your layout is a Blade template, you could create a view composer that injects those variables into your layout. In app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php add something like this:
public function boot()
{
app('view')->composer('layouts.master', function ($view) {
$action = app('request')->route()->getAction();
$controller = class_basename($action['controller']);
list($controller, $action) = explode('@', $controller);
$view->with(compact('controller', 'action'));
});
}
You will then have two variables available in your layout template: $controller and $action
