Flash component
===============

[](#flash-component)

The Flash component allows to **store data across requests and objects** with a **session or request level scope**. It is primarily designed to store **messages** accross requests.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$flash = new Gobline\Flash\Flash();
$flash->initialize();

$flash->next('error', 'User email is invalid'); // sets a message that will be available in the next request

$flash->get('error'); // message only available in the next request, throws \InvalidArgumentException

$flash->get('error', 'foo'); // message only available in the next request, returns default "foo" value

$flash->now('info', 'Three credits remain in your account'); // message available in the current request

$flash->get('info'); // returns "Three credits remain in your account"

$flash->keep(); // keep messages set in the previous request so they will be available in the next request
```

Note that messages stored with `next()` are made available for the next request but not the request after that one. `keep()` allows to keep the same messages accross multiple requests.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the Flash component using the dependency management tool [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). Run the *require* command to resolve and download the dependencies:

```
composer require gobline/flash

```
