Some helpers are available for all Active check methods:
active_url_is():ifUrlIsactive_url_has():ifUrlHasactive_route_is():ifRouteIsactive_route_in():ifRouteInactive_query_is():ifQueryIsactive_query_has():ifQueryHasactive_query_has_only():ifQueryHasOnlyactive_query_contains():ifQueryContains
They take the same arguments than the Active::if* methods and return their equivalent if* check result.
Active::getState($boolean) allows you to get the active_value or inactive value for the boolean passed in argument.
Active::getActiveValue() and Active::getInactiveValue() are available at any time to get the value for respectively Active and Inactive states.
You can reset Active and Inactive values to configuration defaults with Active::resetValues()
