⚡ Contao Flash
==============

[](#-contao-flash)

This is a bundle for Contao 4.4+. It makes working with flash messages (short lived, informal messages for a single user) very convenient.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- 🔋 Ready to use frontend module, including style sheets and JavaScript
- ⏳ Messages stay in session until rendered (or dismissed)
- ⁉️ Display success, error, info and entirely custom messages
- 👽 Advanced features for name-spacing and further customization
- 📼 Simple and solid, works even in environments with disabled JS

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via Contao Manager or Composer:

```
composer require dieschittigs/contao-flash-bundle

```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

Add a new frontend module "Flash Messages" to your page layout. This is where your messages will be displayed – at the top of the main container might be a good place.

If you want to display a message, say inside a hook method, do it like this:

```
// Info
Flash::info('The weather ☀️ is great today!');

// Success
Flash::success('Transaction complete.');

// Warning
Flash::warning('Wir brauchen mehr Silos!');

// Custom html message
Flash::comfirmnuke('Please confirm.Yes.Nope.');

```

ℹ️ *The `Flash` class resides in the `Contao` namespace, so (probably) no `use` statement needed.*

The messages will be saved in the users session. They *wait* until they are rendered in the frontend module, then they delete themselves. So you have longer running processes with multiple redirects and several messages? No problem 🕶️.

ℹ️ *Messages "stack", so if you have e.g. multiple warnings, they will all be displayed once the frontend module gets displayed*

The resulting HTML might look like this:

```

                    The email address you entered was malformed …

                    … but we were able to fix it. Everything's fine.

                window.ContaoFlash = window.ContaoFlash || {};
                window.ContaoFlash.clear = [id1, id2];

```

Advanced Usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)
