This composer package offers a Twitter Bootstrap optimized flash messaging setup for your Laravel applications.
This project is a fork of the laracasts/flash repo
Begin by pulling in the package through Composer.
composer require codions/laraflashNext, if using Laravel 5, include the service provider within your config/app.php file.
'providers' => [
Codions\Laraflash\FlashServiceProvider::class,
];Finally, as noted above, the default CSS classes for your flash message are optimized for Twitter Bootstrap. As such, pull in the Bootstrap's CSS within your HTML or layout file.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">Within your controllers, before you perform a redirect, make a call to the flash() function.
public function store()
{
flash('Welcome Aboard!');
return home();
}You may also do:
flash('Message')->success(): Set the flash theme to "success".flash('Message')->error(): Set the flash theme to "danger".flash('Message')->warning(): Set the flash theme to "warning".flash('Message')->overlay(): Render the message as an overlay.flash()->overlay('Modal Message', 'Modal Title'): Display a modal overlay with a title.flash('Message')->important(): Add a close button to the flash message.flash('Message')->error()->important(): Render a "danger" flash message that must be dismissed.
With this message flashed to the session, you may now display it in your view(s). Because flash messages and overlays are so common, we provide a template out of the box to get you started. You're free to use - and even modify to your needs - this template how you see fit.
@include('flash::message')<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
@include('flash::message')
<p>Welcome to my website...</p>
</div>
<!-- If using flash()->important() or flash()->overlay(), you'll need to pull in the JS for Twitter Bootstrap. -->
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script>
$('#flash-overlay-modal').modal();
</script>
</body>
</html>If you need to modify the flash message partials, you can run:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Codions\Laraflash\FlashServiceProvider"The two package views will now be located in the resources/views/vendor/flash/ directory.
flash('Welcome Aboard!');
return home();flash('Sorry! Please try again.')->error();
return home();flash()->overlay('You are now a Codions member!', 'Yay');
return home();A common desire is to display a flash message for a few seconds, and then hide it. To handle this, write a simple bit of JavaScript. For example, using jQuery, you might add the following snippet just before the closing </body> tag.
<script>
$('div.alert').not('.alert-important').delay(3000).fadeOut(350);
</script>This will find any alerts - excluding the important ones, which should remain until manually closed by the user - wait three seconds, and then fade them out.
Need to flash multiple flash messages to the session? No problem.
flash('Message 1');
flash('Message 2')->important();
return redirect('somewhere');Done! You'll now see two flash messages upon redirect.
