This should work:
Route::group(['prefix'=>'accounts','as'=>'account.'], function(){
Route::get("https://stackoverflow.com/", ['as' => 'index', 'uses' => 'AccountController@index']);
Route::get('connect', ['as' => 'connect', 'uses' = > 'AccountController@connect']);
});
Look here for an explanation and in the official documentation (under Route Groups & Named Routes).
Update
{{ $routeName = \Request::route()->getName() }}
@if(strpos($routeName, 'account.') === 0)
// do something
@endif
Alternative from Rohit Khatri
function getCurrentRouteGroup() {
$routeName = Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route::current()->getName();
return explode('.',$routeName)[0];
}
