Written to suit my needs - but hopefully someone else will find it useful too. The current version requires Laravel 7.0 & PHP 8.0 or greater. If you have a project that requires a lower version of PHP or Laravel, check the requirements of the older releases. Installation ------------ [](#installation) The recommended way is using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) - simply run this command in your terminal: ``` composer require gbuckingham89/laraflash ``` The service provider and facade will be automatically registered for you unless you have disabled auto discovery. If this is the case, you'll need to manually register the service provider and facade: For the service provider, add the following to the `providers` array in your `app.php` config file: ``` Gbuckingham89\Laraflash\ServiceProvider::class ``` For the facade, add the following to the `aliases` array in your `app.php` config file: ``` 'Laraflash' => Gbuckingham89\Laraflash\Facade\Laraflash::class ``` Finally, you'll need to publish the view file (unless you want to roll your own). Do this by running this command in your terminal: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Gbuckingham89\Laraflash\ServiceProvider" ``` Use --- [](#use) ### Setting a message [](#setting-a-message) Before you redirect to another page, simply use the `Laraflash` facade to set your message. You can call the main `flash` method as follows: ``` Laraflash::flash("This is a flash message.", "success"); ``` The first parameter is your message, the second is the priority level. There are also four helper methods available for easier setting of priority levels: ``` Laraflash::success("This is a success flash message."); Laraflash::info("This is an info flash message."); Laraflash::warning("This is a warning flash message."); Laraflash::danger("This is a danger flash message."); ``` ### Displaying the message [](#displaying-the-message) To display the message, simply include the bundled view (built for Bootstrap) in your view: ``` @include('laraflash::laraflash') ``` Alternatively, you can access the data in the session directly (stored in `laraflash.message` and `laraflash.level`) and roll your own view. ### Testing Assertions [](#testing-assertions) This package provides `Gbuckingham89\Laraflash\LaraflashAssertions` with some basic/common assertions if you have to test that your responses contain a laraflash message, or not. ``` use Gbuckingham89\Laraflash\LaraflashAssertions; LaraflashAssertions::assertResponseDoesntHaveLaraflash($response); LaraflashAssertions::assertResponseHasLaraflash($response, 'info', 'The message you are expecting'); LaraflashAssertions::assertResponseHasLaraflashSuccess($response, 'The message you are expecting'); LaraflashAssertions::assertResponseHasLaraflashInfo($response, 'The message you are expecting'); LaraflashAssertions::assertResponseHasLaraflashWarning($response, 'The message you are expecting'); LaraflashAssertions::assertResponseHasLaraflashDanger($response, 'The message you are expecting'); ``` Copyright and license --------------------- [](#copyright-and-license) Code and documentation copyright [George Buckingham](https://www.georgebuckingham.com).
