Easy Flash Messages
===================

Inspired by [Jeffrey Way's Flash Package](https://github.com/laracasts/flash). Added following Jeffrey Ωmega's request.

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

[](#installation)

### You like text ?

[](#you-like-text-)

First, pull in the package through Composer.

Run `composer require mercuryseries/flashy`

And then, if using Laravel 5, include the service provider within `config/app.php`.

```
'providers' => [
    MercurySeries\Flashy\FlashyServiceProvider::class,
];
```

And, for convenience, add a facade alias to this same file at the bottom:

```
'aliases' => [
    'Flashy' => MercurySeries\Flashy\Flashy::class,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Within your controllers, before you perform a redirect...

```
public function store()
{
    Flashy::message('Welcome Aboard!', 'http://your-awesome-link.com');

    return Redirect::home();
}
```

You may also do:

- `Flashy::info('Message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com')`
- `Flashy::success('Message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com')`
- `Flashy::error('Message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com')`
- `Flashy::warning('Message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com')`
- `Flashy::primary('Message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com')`
- `Flashy::primaryDark('Message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com')`
- `Flashy::muted('Message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com')`
- `Flashy::mutedDark('Message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com')`

Again, if using Laravel, this will set a few keys in the session:

- 'flashy\_notification.message' - The message you're flashing
- 'flashy\_notification.type' - A string that represents the type of notification (good for applying HTML class names)
- 'flashy\_notification.link' - The URL to redirect to on click

Alternatively, again, if you're using Laravel, you may reference the `flashy()` helper function, instead of the facade. Here's an example:

```
/**
 * Destroy the user's session (logout).
 *
 * @return Response
 */
public function destroy()
{
    Auth::logout();

    flashy()->success('You have been logged out.', 'http://your-awesome-link.com');

    return home();
}
```

Or, for a general information flash, just do: `flashy('Some message', 'http://your-awesome-link.com');`.

With this message flashed to the session, you may now display it in your view(s). Maybe something like:

```
@if(Session::has('flashy_notification.message'))

        speaker_notes

    flashy("{{ Session::get('flashy_notification.message') }}", "{{ Session::get('flashy_notification.link') }}");

@endif
```

Because flash messages are so common, if you want, you may use (or modify) the views that are included with this package. Simply append to your layout view:

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

> Note that this package has jQuery has dependency. It's also better to load flashy before your body close tag.

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
>

    Document

    Welcome to my website...

@include('flashy::message')

```

If you need to modify the flash message partials, you can run:

```
php artisan vendor:publish
```

The two package views will now be located in the `app/views/packages/mercuryseries/flashy/` directory.

```
Flashy::message('Welcome aboard!', 'http://your-awesome-link.com');

return Redirect::home();
```

```
Flashy::error('Sorry! Please try again.', 'http://your-awesome-link.com');

return Redirect::home();
```

Nice rendering
--------------

[](#nice-rendering)

For a nice rendering you may include these lines in your head:

```

```

and override the following sections of the default flashy view:

```

.flashy {
    font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, sans-serif;
    padding: 11px 30px;
    border-radius: 4px;
    font-weight: 400;
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 20px;
    right: 20px;
    font-size: 16px;
    color: #fff;
}

        speaker_notes

```
