Question

Hello I am new to ruby on rails and I am struggling to understand I18n\'s flash messages. I am using devise, rails 4, and twitter bootstrap.I understand that devise only use

Answer 1

The simplest solution I've found is to use a common partial for all flash messages while checking for :notice and :alertto replace with the necessary bootstrap class.

So make /views/shared/_alerts.html.erb like this -

<% flash.each do |message_type, message| %>

    <%= message %>
    
        ×
    
  
<% end %>

Add a helper method (I've added it to the application helper) like this -

def flash_class_name(name)
    case name
    when "notice" then "success"
    when "alert"  then "danger"
    else name
    end
end

Include _alerts.html.erb in the application layout (or the parent layout for your application).

That's it!
