How to get URL name in template?

Question

I tried to print this in the template, but it renders blank. Whats the correct way to get URL name in template?

{{ request.resolver_match.url_name }}

I wanted it to highlight something in the top bar (if path is 'admin-stuff' add highlight class).

@rnevius I'm pretty sure the OP means the `name` since there is `request.resolver_match.url_name` provided. — alecxe, Nov 14 '14 at 07:14
But then he mentions something about `if path is...`, which got me confused. — rnevius, Nov 14 '14 at 07:15

In the application settings TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS must include

"django.core.context_processors.request"

for the request to appear in the template context.
