In Laravel, the best way to pass different types of flash messages in the session

Question

I\'m making my first app in Laravel and am trying to get my head around the session flash messages. As far as I\'m aware in my controller action I can set a flash message ei

Answer 1

One solution would be to flash two variables into the session:

1. The message itself
2. The "class" of your alert

for example:

Session::flash('message', 'This is a message!'); 
Session::flash('alert-class', 'alert-danger'); 

Then in your view:

@if(Session::has('message'))
{{ Session::get('message') }}
@endif

Note I've put a default value into the Session::get(). that way you only need to override it if the warning should be something other than the alert-info class.

(that is a quick example, and untested :) )
