I'm working on a project, and inside of a helpher.php file I found the following:

public static function getCurrentRoute() {

$request = Request::active();

return $request->route->strip_extension;

}

How can I interpret this code?

I'm mainly confused about what the active function does..

thanks..

FuelPHP has HMVC built in as part of it's core. It means that requests can fire secondary requests, and that in turn means the main request (the one initialized by the client) is not always the active or current request.

So this method returns the value of the strip extension property of the route object associated with the active request (and not the current route as the method name suggests).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_model–view–controller and http://fuelphp.com/docs/general/hmvc.html for more info on HMVC.
