Flashed

Flashed is a tiny solution to deal with the flash session in Laravel. Its aim is to keeping simple and driver based messages styling in your views, controllers, repositories, etc.

Getting started

First of all, you have to install the package through Composer running the following command in your terminal:

composer require gocanto/flashed

Once composer is done, add the package service provider in the providers array in config/app.php:

Gocanto\Flashed\FlashedServiceProvider::class,

Second of all, you will have to publish the vendor files shipped within this package. As so,

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=flashed

Third of all, you will have to specify the configuration option you wish to have for working with this package. So far, the package was made to work with Twitter bootstrap, but you can modify this to work with any CSS styling you might need.

After running this command, you will be able to see the partial view shipped with the packages, and the configuration file. Being the second one the most important file in order for the Flashed library to work properly.

You will find a good explanation about what each of the configuration options are about. You can take a look at them clicking on here.

How it to implement it in your controllers

You have to import he flash class, as so:

use Gocanto\Flashed\Flash;

Then, you can use its static method to create a new flash message, as so:

Flash::make()->message([
  'title' => 'Hi There!',
  'body' => 'this is the body'
]);

The title and body are optional, so you do not have to pass both to the make method. If you do not pass a title, the default one will be used instead.

Also, you will have the ability to create five different flash messages, for examples: 'primary', 'success', 'warning', 'danger' and 'info'. You only need to invoke them like so:

Flash::make('info')->message([
  'title' => 'This is a info message!',
  'body' => 'this is the body'
]);

Note: By default, the message type is danger

The view shipped out

The views included with this package can be imported like so,

@include ('vendor.flashedit.bootstrap')

And it was created to work with the default driver which is twitter bootstrap
