In this tutorial we wil learn how to Laravel 8 flash message tutorial example.
Flash messages are brief messages that are saved in the session and are presented to the user for a little duration.When a user completes an activity, such as completing a form successfully or running into an error, they are commonly used to send feedback or notifications to the user.
Step 1: Set Up Routes
Open routes/web.php file and define a route for displaying the flash message. For example:
Route::get('/flash-message', function () {
return view('flash-message');
});
Step 2: Create a Blade View
Create a new file resources/views/flash-message.blade.php and add the following content:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Laravel - Implement Flash Messages with example</title>
</head>
<body>
@if(session('success'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
{{ session('success') }}
</div>
@endif
@if(session('error'))
<div class="alert alert-danger">
{{ session('error') }}
</div>
@endif
<h1>Flash Message Example</h1>
<a href="/flash-message">Show Flash Message</a>
</body>
</html>
Step 3: Create a Controller
Next, run the following command in your terminal to create a new controller:
php artisan make:controller FlashMessageController
Open FlashMessageController.php file in the app/Http/Controllers directory and then replace its code with the below code:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class FlashMessageController extends Controller
{
public function showMessage(Request $request)
{
// Flash success message
$request->session()->flash('success', 'Flash message example - success.');
// Flash error message
$request->session()->flash('error', 'Flash message example - error.');
return view('flash-message');
}
}
Step 4: Update the Route
Update the routes/web.php file to use the controller method instead of the closure:
use App\Http\Controllers\FlashMessageController;
Route::get('/flash-message', [FlashMessageController::class, 'showMessage']);
Step 5: Run the Application
Run the following command in your terminal to view output:
php artisan serve
You should see a flash message example and a link to display the flash message if you browse to http://localhost:8000/flash-message in your web browser.
When you click the link, the flash messages will be displayed on the page, demonstrating the usage of flash messages in Laravel.
Note: Before completing these steps, ensure that Laravel is installed correctly and configured.
That's it! You now have a basic example of how to use flash messages in Laravel. You can customize the flash message content and styling to fit your needs.
