Laravel 5 flash message flashes again after navigating away and using back button

Question

In my controller im trying to redirect back with a Flash message in laravel 5. This all works great. The problem is no matter how i set it up the flash message always re-app

You can show flash messages using javascript and use SessionStorage to stop repeating messages. Browser cache doesn't know if browser already shown a message, but we can use SessionStorage to check it before display.

...

var popupId = "{{ uniqid() }}";

if(sessionStorage) {
   // prevent from showing if it exists in a storage (shown);
   if(!sessionStorage.getItem('shown-' + popupId)) {
      $('#flash-container').append("
{{ session('status') }}
");
   }
   sessionStorage.setItem('shown-' + popupId, '1');
}
