Menu active trail

A menu trail is a list (array) of menu link plugins that are parents of a menu link. For the active trail, that specific menu link represents the current route (if there is a menu link for that route).

The Drupal 8 menu system also has a service that can be used to determine the active trail of the current route if used by a menu link. By passing a menu name to look inside of, the MenuActiveTrail service returns an array of plugin IDs of the parents all the way up to the menu root, if the current route is in fact an active link. There is also a method that can be used to check that: getActiveLink().
