bkstar123/flashing

A lightweight package to send flash messages in Laravel applications. This package only supports one single flash message at a time, and the flash message is displayed in the format of a toast notification

1. Requirements

• PHP 7.1.3+
• Laravel 5.5+

2. Installation

composer require bkstar123/flashing

After that, you need to publish the package’s assets:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bkstar123\Flashing\FlashingServiceProvider"

It will copy a blade view element to your application’s resources/views/vendor/bkstar123_flashing/flashing.blade.php. You are free to customize this view element. Also, it will copy the package’s javascript files to your application’spublic/js/vendor/bkstar123)handling/*.js

3. Usage

a) In view

In view or master layout, just include the package’s view element with @include('bkstar123_flashing::flashing')

b) In controller methods

Out of the box, the package provides you with the following toolset for flashing a message:

• Bkstar123\Flashing\Facades\Flashing Facade. Alternatively, you can use its alias Flashing
• flashing() helper function

The package supports the following types of flashing messages:

• success
• error
• warning
• info (default)

Example:

<?php
// Flash a info-typed message by default
\Flashing::message('Welcome to the home page')
    ->flash();
flashing('Welcome to the home page')
    ->flash();
// Flash a success-typed message
\Flashing::message('Welcome to the home page')
    ->success()
    ->flash();
flashing('Welcome to the home page')
    ->success()
    ->flash();
// Flash a message and mark it as important i.e it will not disappear until being dismissed by yourself
\Flashing::message('Important message')
    ->important()
    ->flash();
flashing('Important message')
    ->important()
    ->flash();
// Specify the miliseconds for timing out the flash message
// The given timeout will be ignored if you mark the flash message as important
\Flashing::message('This message will disappear after 3 seconds')
    ->timeout(3000)
    ->flash();
flashing('This message will disappear after 3 seconds')
    ->timeout(3000)
    ->flash();
// Specify the location of the flash message, it can be either top-right or bottom-right
\Flashing::message('I will be on the top-right of your screen')
    ->position('top')
    ->flash();
flashing('I will be on the top-right of your screen')
    ->position('top')
    ->flash();

All methods success() | error() | warning() | info() can be chained after message() as well as chained by important(), timeout() & position(). In the final, you must always append flash() to the chain.

Note: flashing('hello world') <=> \Flashing::message('hello world')
