README

Laravel 5 flash messages, based off the Laracasts video tutorial on the same topic: Flexible Flash Messages. Originally developed for FusionCMS, an open source content management system.

Quick Installation

Begin by installing the package through Composer.

composer require caffeinated/flash

Once this operation is complete, simply add both the service provider and facade classes to your project's config/app.php file:

Service Provider

Caffeinated\Flash\FlashServiceProvider::class,

Facade

'Flash' => Caffeinated\Flash\Facades\Flash::class,

And that's it! With your coffee in reach, start flashing out messages!

Usage

Usage is simple. Before redirecting to another page, simply call on Flash to set your desired flash message. There are a number of methods to assign different levels of priority (info, success, warning, and error).

Success

Flash::success('This is a success message.');

Info

Flash::info('This is an info message.');

Warning

Flash::warning('This is a warning message.');

Error

Flash::error('This is an error message.');

Rendering

To render your flash messages in your view, simply include the bundled view partial in your master layout:

@include('flash::message')

Note that the bundled view partial is geared for Bootstrap out of the box.
