[](#this-will-add-the-jquerybootstrap-growlminjs-to-your-publicpackagesjquery-directoryusage)

Now you can add alerts from your controller. The following message types are possible

- Alerts::addInfo
- Alerts::addSuccess
- Alerts::addWarning
- Alerts::addDanger

All methods have the same parameters:

- message: the message you want to print
- title (optional): the title of the message (will be prepended in strong letters to the message)
- configuration (optional): additional configuration array For Example:

```
Alerts::addInfo("This is a simple info message", "Info");

```

will an the following message [![example info message](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/38965ba351537aa3cc5bc154c7408492fe5dcef21e1e37e2a55cb5ed92550244/687474703a2f2f7331342e64697265637475706c6f61642e6e65742f696d616765732f3134313032372f73376735756672662e706e67)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/38965ba351537aa3cc5bc154c7408492fe5dcef21e1e37e2a55cb5ed92550244/687474703a2f2f7331342e64697265637475706c6f61642e6e65742f696d616765732f3134313032372f73376735756672662e706e67)

### Displaying the alerts

[](#displaying-the-alerts)

Add

```
{{ Alerts::getAlerts() }}

```

to your sites javascripts.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You can export the default configuration with

```
php artisan config:publish arkraft/alerts

```

This will export the following array to 'config/packages/arkraft/alerts/config.php'

```
return array(
    'offset' => '{from: "top", amount: 40}',
    'align' => 'right',
    'width' => 250,
    'delay' => 4000,
    'allowDismiss' => false,
    'stackupSpacing' => 5
);

```

The configuration values:

- offset: array with offset values, the alerts will apear 40px from top
- align: possible values are right, center and left.
- width: the width of the message box
- delay: delay for the message to disappear, this message will stay for 4 seconds before it disappears
- allowDismiss: true will print a close button on the right side of the alert box
- stackupSpacing: spacing between multiple alert boxes

The changes on this configuration file are global for all boxe. To change the configuration for a single alert you can use the configuration parameter like this

```
Alerts::addDanger("This is a simple error message", "Error", array("delay" => 0, "allowDismiss" => true, "align" => "center"));

```

This will show a message wich will stay in the center of the screen until it is closed with the close button on the right. Configurations passed as a parameter will overwrite the default configuration.
