ActiveTagHelper

Adds active class to your links (like menu items, or a tags, but it actually works on every tag) based on whether its asp-page, asp-controller or asp-action matches the current URL.

It's easy – just add a little attribute to your links. This is how:

Compatibility

Currently only tested on .NET 6.

Installation

  1. Add a reference to the package from the cmd line:
    MyProject> dotnet add package ActiveTagHelper
    
  2. Restore:
    MyProject> dotnet restore
    
  3. Register the Tag Helpers in your application's _ViewImports.cshtml file:
    @addTagHelper *, ActiveTagHelper
    

Every link that should have its destination and current route compared needs to get the check-active attribute.

Example

<a check-active asp-page="/Index">Index</a>
<a check-active asp-page="/Privacy">Privacy</a>

When the user is on the Index page, the code gets automatically changed to:

<a class="active" asp-page="/Index">Index</a>
<a asp-page="/Privacy">Privacy</a>

If there are already classes defined, active just gets appended to the existing ones. The check-active attribute always gets removed.

By the way, this works on every HTML element, not just <a>.
