FlashMessage
============

[](#flashmessage)

A simple PHP container for passing session (flash) messages between page redirects.

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

[](#installation)

Install the FlashMessage package via Composer:

```
composer require thecodemill/flash-message

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

FlashMessage is used to make messages of 4 different statuses:

- INFO
- SUCCESS
- WARNING
- DANGER

A message can be created by instantiating a new `TheCodeMill\FlashMessage\Message` class, with the appropriate arguments:

```
use TheCodeMill\FlashMessage\Message;

$message = new Message('The problem with the gene pool is there’s no lifeguard', Message::STATUS_INFO);
```

Alternatively, static helper methods are available to automatically generate a message of each particular status:

```
use TheCodeMill\FlashMessage\Message;

// Info
$info = Message::info('I have noticed something strange.');

// Warning
$warning = Message::warning('This could be a problem.');

// Danger
$danger = Message::danger('Yes, it was definitely a problem.');

// Success
$success = Message::success('All fixed!');
```

These messages can then be passed into session storage and flashed between page redirects.

Here's a Laravel example:

```
Route::post('/submit', function () {
    // Do something
    // ...

    // Now redirect
    return redirect('/success')
        ->with('message', Message::success('Thanks for submitting.'));
});
```

To output the message, we may use the `content()` and `status()` methods on the Message object.

**Note:** You may notice that the status types tie in nicely with Bootstrap's default types.

Here's another Laravel Blade example:

```
@if($message = session('message'))

    		×
    		Close

        {{ $message->content() }}

@endif
```
