Laravel 5 flash messages, based off the Laracasts video tutorial on the same topic: [Flexible Flash Messages](https://laracasts.com/lessons/flexible-flash-messages). Originally developed for [FusionCMS](https://github.com/fusioncms/fusioncms), an open source content management system.

Quick Installation
------------------

[](#quick-installation)

Begin by installing the package through Composer.

```
composer require caffeinated/flash

```

Once this operation is complete, simply add both the service provider and facade classes to your project's `config/app.php` file:

#### Service Provider

[](#service-provider)

```
Caffeinated\Flash\FlashServiceProvider::class,
```

#### Facade

[](#facade)

```
'Flash' => Caffeinated\Flash\Facades\Flash::class,
```

And that's it! With your coffee in reach, start flashing out messages!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Usage is simple. Before redirecting to another page, simply call on `Flash` to set your desired flash message. There are a number of methods to assign different levels of priority (info, success, warning, and error).

#### Success

[](#success)

```
Flash::success('This is a success message.');
```

#### Info

[](#info)

```
Flash::info('This is an info message.');
```

#### Warning

[](#warning)

```
Flash::warning('This is a warning message.');
```

#### Error

[](#error)

```
Flash::error('This is an error message.');
```

### Rendering

[](#rendering)

To render your flash messages in your view, simply include the bundled view partial in your master layout:

```
@include('flash::message')
```

Note that the bundled view partial is geared for Bootstrap out of the box.
