Laravel 5 Flash Message Helper
==============================

[](#laravel-5-flash-message-helper)

Inspired by [Laracasts Flash](https://github.com/laracasts/flash)

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

[](#installation)

Install via composer:

```
composer require willishq/laravel5-flash

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Ideally use within your base controller as so:

```
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesCommands;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests;
use Willishq\Flash\Flash;

abstract class Controller extends BaseController {

	use DispatchesCommands, ValidatesRequests;
	/**
	 * @var Flash
	 */
	protected $flash;
	public function __construct(Flash $flash)
	{
		$this->flash = $flash;
	}
}
```

To fire off a flash message:

```
class FooController extends BaseController {

	public function somethingNeat()
	{
	    // epic codes
	    $this->flash->success('success message');
	    return redirect('/');
	}
}
```

To display flash messages in your view:

```
@if($flash->exists())
	@if($flash->isPanel())

			{{ $flash->title }}
			{{ $flash->message }}

	@else

			{{ $flash->message }}
			×

	@endif

@endif
```
