Easy Flash Messages for Your Laravel App
========================================

[](#easy-flash-messages-for-your-laravel-app)

*Forked from laracasts/flash to add support for multiple notifications.*

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/839b5733efd49672a518572e79b08bc2e21ab4407091392d6a557029c4f19dd1/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f7374616e64616e69656c732f666c6173682e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/standaniels/flash)

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

[](#installation)

First, pull in the package through Composer.

Run `composer require standaniels/flash`

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

```
'providers' => [
    StanDaniels\Flash\FlashServiceProvider::class,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

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

```
public function store()
{
    flash('Welcome Aboard!');

    return home();
}
```

You may also do:

- `flash('Message', 'info')`
- `flash('Message', 'success')`
- `flash('Message', 'danger')`
- `flash('Message', 'warning')`
- `flash()->overlay('Modal Message', 'Modal Title')`
- `flash('Message')->important()`

Behind the scenes, this will set a `flash_notifications` key which contains an array of messages. Every messages is an instance of `Illuminate\Support\Collection`:

- 'message' - The message you're flashing
- '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:

```
@foreach (flash()->all() as $message)

        ×

        {!! $message->get('message') !!}

@endforeach
```

> 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('flash::messages')
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
>

    Document

    @include('flash::messages')

    Welcome to my website...

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

```

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/standaniels/flash/` directory.

```
flash('Welcome Aboard!');

return home();
```

Hiding Flash Messages
---------------------

[](#hiding-flash-messages)

A common desire is to display a flash message for a few seconds, and then hide it. To handle this, write a simple bit of JavaScript. For example, using jQuery, you might add the following snippet just before the closing `` tag.

```

$('div.alert').not('.alert-important').delay(3000).fadeOut(350);

```

This will find any alerts - excluding the important ones, which should remain until manually closed by the user - wait three seconds, and then fade them out.
