Menu Active Class

Hi Jared,

Just getting started, but so far timber is great, thanks for sharing!

I have a question re wp_nav_menu classes. What is the best practise for highlighting a menu with an ‘active’ class.

Normally I sanitised WordPress’s crazy menu class with the function below.

/* Clean up WP Nav Menu CSS Classes */
add_filter('nav_menu_css_class', 'clear_nav_menu_item_class', 10, 3);

function clear_nav_menu_item_class($classes, $item, $args) {
    if (array_search('current-menu-item',$classes) || array_search('current-page-ancestor',$classes) || array_search('current_page_parent',$classes) ) {
    	$active = array(1 => 'active');
    } else {
    	$active = array();
    }
    return $active;
}

This no longer works, is the Timber menu filterable?

I notice there is an ‘current’ flag I can use, my markup is as follows. Is there a cleaner way to do this.

{% if item.current == true %}
	  <li class="active">
 {% else %}
 	<li>
 {% endif %}

Thanks,

Ian.
