Laravel str is() Function With Example

In today’s tutorial, we will show you how to use string is() function Laravel. Basically, this function determines if a given string matches a given pattern. Asterisks can be used to indicate wildcards.

Note: we can use this function as Str::is() or is(), both are correct as it’s a helper function, and it can be used anywhere in the application.

Check the below example to see in action

class TestController extends Controller
{
    /**
    * Show the application dashboard.
    *
    * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
    */
    public function index()

    {
        $string1 =  Str::is('tutsp*', 'tutsplanet');
        dd($is1);
        // outputs  true

        $string2 =  Str::is('helo*', 'tutsplanet');
        dd($is2);
        // outputs  false
    }
}
