This package provides a fluent interface to add messages from anywhere within in your code base and gracefully add them to your JSON responses. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the package using composer. ``` $ composer require goomcoom/laravel-messages ``` The service provider and facade are registered automatically, but you may do so manually by adding them to the app config. ``` // config/app.php [ 'providers' => [ // ... GoomCoom\Messages\MessagesServiceProvider::class, ], 'aliases' => [ // ... 'Messages' => GoomCoom\Messages\Facades\Messages::class, ], ]; ``` Config ------ [](#config) To publish the config file you may use the following command ``` $ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=goomcoom-laravel-messages ``` The config file holds the bags that are available for accepting messages which are fully customizable. ``` // config/goomcoom-laravel-messages.php return [ /** * ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– * Bags * ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– * These are the bags that messages can be added to. */ 'bags' => [ 'error', 'info', 'success', 'warning', ], ]; ``` Adding messages to responses ---------------------------- [](#adding-messages-to-responses) If you would like the messages to the added to the response automatically, you may use the `AddMessagesToResponse`middleware. The middleware checks if there are any messages and adds them to the response's meta content. For information on using middleware please refer to the official [documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/middleware). ``` // The messages are added to the response's meta object { data: { ... }, meta: { ... messages: { error: [ 'Resource 532 was not updated', ], info: [ 'We did something you might not have expected' ] } } } ``` The middleware also checks if the response has a message property and appends the message to the `meta.messages.error` array. ``` // The response message is appended to the error messages array { message: 'Somethig went wrong.', meta: { messages: { error: [ 'Resource 532 was not updated', 'Something went wrong.' ], } } } ``` ### Adding messages [](#adding-messages) The first argument is the message bag that the messages are meant to be added to. We use the splat operator to gather messages, so you may add multiple comma-separated messages at once. ``` Messages::add('error', 'Cannot do that!', 'Something went wrong.'); Messages::add('info', 'Something else happened.'); /* { ... meta: { messages: { error: [ 'Cannot do that!', 'Something went wrong.' ], info: [ 'Something else happened.' ] } } } */ ``` It's worth noting that messages are not duplicated within a category. ### Getting a bag [](#getting-a-bag) The package uses laravel's [MessageBag](https://laravel.com/api/7.x/Illuminate/Support/MessageBag.html) class to categorise the messages. You may retrieve a specific bag using the `getBag` method. ``` // Returns Illuminate/Support/MessageBag with "warning" messages Messages::getBag('warning'); ``` ### Getting all messages [](#getting-all-messages) You may also retrieve all the messages as an associative array with the messages grouped by their category by using the `getAll` method. ``` Messages::getAll(); /* [ 'error' => [ ... ], 'info' => [ ... ], 'success' => [ ... ], 'warning' => [ ... ], ] */ ``` ### Checking if any messages have been added [](#checking-if-any-messages-have-been-added) You may check if any messages have been added by using the `hasAny` method. ``` // Returns boolean Messages::hasAny(); ``` ### Removing messages [](#removing-messages) You may remove messages from a specific bag by using the `remove` method. ``` // Removes all messages from the success bag. Messages::remove('success', '*'); // Removes the "To be removed" & "Also to be removed" messages from the error bag' Messages::remove('error', 'To be removed', 'Also to be removed'); ``` ### Resetting all message bags [](#resetting-all-message-bags) You may reset all message bags by calling the `reset` method. ``` // Removes all messages Messages::reset(); ``` ### Health Score 22 — LowBetter than 22% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
