Get route path from name in Laravel 5.1

Question

Well I know that route('some.route.name') returns the url for a route based on its name. Is there any way to get a path instead of the url?

I can subtract(or better say str_replace) route('my.website.root.route.name') from it, but I was just wondering if there was a way to do it in a straight forward fashion.

Thanks =)

You can use controller to make links .. and you can use in view with {{ }}

on controller.. add like,

 public function index() {
    $weburl = asset('http://www.google.com/sample/pic/');
    $myurl = asset('/mysite/data/sample/');

    $data= array(
                    'weburl' => $weburl,
                    'myurl' => $myurl,
                );

    return View('index', $data);
}

then you can call this links on view using double curly brackets

{{ $weburl }} or {{ $myurl }}

Guess this way is easier to use..
