Is there any way to get current route / page name? about jigsaw

Until this feature is added in a more graceful way you could use the hacky solution below.

Base Template Example

{{--*/ $activeNav = 'nav-2' /*--}}

@section('body')
    @include('_common.navigation')
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
@endsection

Included Navigation Template Example

<ul>
    <li{!! $activeNav == 'nav-1' ? ' class="active"' : '' !!}>Nav 1</li>
    <li{!! $activeNav == 'nav-2' ? ' class="active"' : '' !!}>Nav 2</li>
    <li{!! $activeNav == 'nav-3' ? ' class="active"' : '' !!}>Nav 3</li>
</ul>

Not at the moment but this is a good idea, I will try and get this in really soon.

Thanks @adamwathan that would be a great help to use the Jigsaw as full fledged static site builder.
Looking forward to get this done soon.

Harp does a nice job of this, making a current variable available to all views.

For page /about/team, generated from file about/team.md, for example:

current.source
// (string) 'team'

current.path
// (array) ['about', 'team']

This is usually enough to determine the current active page and even its active parent page/section.

I'm going to take a stab at a larger site with Jigsaw over the next couple weeks, so I'll post back if I find a nice way of adding this behavior, too.

Also for nav item classes, I usually clean up the ternary operator like so (think I saw Taylor Otwell do this somewhere). It's just cleaner to me:

<li class="{{ $activeNav != 'nav-1' ?: 'active' }}">...</li>

As of v1.0.0, you can now access $page->getFilename() or $page->getPath(), which you could check via a helper method in config.php.

You could also add a variable in the YAML front matter for a page, something like:

---
section: about
---

...and check the value of $page->section instead of using the filename or path.
