link.active

Returns true if the link object is active, or false if the link object is inactive.

A link is considered active if the resource it points to is part of the URL structure. For example, if the current page is /blogs/news/snowfall, then the following links are active:

• /blogs/news, where the resource is the blog
• /blogs/news/snowfall, where the resource is the blog article

Given the behavior of link.active, multiple links in a menu can have link.active be true at the same time, even when they have different values for link.url.
