Hello peeps,

The main idea for this class is to make it easy for you to send flash message without writing too much of

code,especially if you are working on an application that requires using flash messages and forms, you are all free to improve on the code or fork this repo, the git repo url is at the

end of this page.

One thing you must note though , it uses bootstrap 3 css but then you can adjust to make it work for you

You can add the FlashClass.php in a services folders in the App folder once that is done you can hook it up in your in your controller ,

lets look at the flashclass

<?php namespace App\Services;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
/**
*
*
* Here we setup for Flash messages and form alert in laravel
*
* @author Plumptre Ademola <dplumptre@yahoo.com>
*
* As you can see I am using static functions so you dont have to instanciate just
* straight up, check out read me to know how to you display this on the client side
*
*
*
*
*/
class FlashClass {

/*
This function set() uses two parameters
the name of the css class or id
the second is the message you want to pass along
note i am using bootstrap 3
*/
public static function set($css,$message){

Session::flash(‘message’, $message.’!’);
Session::flash(‘alert-class’, $css);

}

/*
this function displays the error
*/

public static function get(){
if(Session::has(‘message’)){
echo”<div class=\”alert “.Session::get(‘alert-class’).”\”>
<button type=’button’ class=’close’ data-dismiss=’alert’>&times;</button>
<strong>The following errors have occurred:</strong>
<div>”.Session::get(‘message’).” </div>
</div>”;
}

}

/*
This functions displays errors
for the form you are working on
normally you will have to ususally write
something like this below
foreach( $errors->all() as $message ){
echo”<div>”.$message.”</div>”;
}
echo”</div>”;
}

but you wont have to worry about that any more

because its all here, check readme
*/
public static function getFormNotice($errors){
if( $errors->count() > 0 ){
echo”<div class=’alert alert-danger’>
<button type=’button’ class=’close’ data-dismiss=’alert’>&times;</button>
<strong>The following errors have occurred:</strong>”;
foreach( $errors->all() as $message ){
echo”<div>”.$message.”</div>”;
}
echo”</div>”;
}

}
}
?>

The controller page should look like this



<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
/*
include the namespace of the flashclass
*/
use App\Services\FlashClass as FlashClass;
class WelcomeController extends Controller
{

public function signup()
{
return view(‘welcome.sign-up’);
}

public function postsignup(Requests\SignupRequest $request)
{
/*
using request for the form , using laravel 5.1 here
this is how you add it to your controller class below
*/

FlashClass::set(‘alert-danger’,’there is an error’);

return redirect(‘sign-up’);

}

}

}

For the view part ,

this should be kept above the form or where you want the error to show you will have something like this below
/* include the name space of the flashclass */use App\Services\FlashClass as FlashClass;

/* Above your form you can paste this two line of code
FlashClass::getFormNotice($errors);

this takes care of the code below

foreach( $errors->all() as $message ){
echo”.$message.”;
}

you might be used to writing which seems easier just writing a one line code

This FlashClass::get(); gets the flash message out for

*/

FlashClass::getFormNotice($errors); FlashClass::get();
