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

[](#easy-flash-messages)

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

[](#installation)

First, pull in the package through Composer.

```
"require": {
    "mnshankar/flashmessenger": "1.1"
}
```

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

```
'providers' => array(
    'mnshankar\Flash\FlashServiceProvider'
);
```

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

```
'aliases' => array(
    'Flash' => 'mnshankar\Flash\Flash'
);
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

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

```
public function store()
{
    Flash::message('Welcome Aboard!');

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

You may also do:

- 'Flash::info('Message')`
- `Flash::success('Message')`
- `Flash::error('Message')`
- `Flash::warning('Message')`
- `Flash::overlay('Modal Message', 'Modal Title')`

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

- 'flash\_notification.message' - The message you're flashing
- 'flash\_notification.level' - A string that represents the type of notification (good for applying HTML class names)

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

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

        ×

        {{ Session::get('flash_notification.message') }}

@endif
```

> Note that this package is optimized for use with Twitter Bootstrap.

Because flash messages and overlays 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('flashmessenger::message')
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
>

    Document

    @include('flashmessenger::message')

    Welcome to my website...

    $('#flash-overlay-modal').modal();

```

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

```
php artisan view:publish mnshankar/flashmessenger
```

The two package views will now be located in the `app/views/packages/mnshankar/flashmessenger/' directory.

This is almost a verbatim copy of Jeffrey Way's Flash library () .. I just tweaked it (very slightly) so I can use it with php 5.3.
