Hey Developer,

Are you looking for an example of how to add flash message in laravel. In this article, we will implement a how to set flash message in laravel. If you have a question about laravel flash message example then I will give a simple example with a solution. we will help you to give an example of how to show flash message in laravel.

You can use this example with laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, laravel 9 and laravel 10 versions.

we will define various types of flash message notifications like alert-success, alert danger, alert info, alert warning messages in bootstrap laravel projects. When you have a success task on the controller method then you can use a success flash message, if you have any error task then you can use error flash message.

Flash messages are required in laravel application because that way we can give alter with what progress is complete, error, warning, etc. In this tutorial, I added several ways to give a flash message like redirect with a success message, redirect with an error message, redirect with a warning message, and redirect with info message. In this example, we use a bootstrap flash alert layout that way it becomes a good layout.

So, you have to just follow the basic three-step to integrate flash messages in your laravel application. So let's follow the below step:

Step 1: Create Global File For Flash Message

In first step we will create new blade file flash-message.blade.php. In this file we will write code of bootstrap alert and check which messages come.

There are following alert will added:

1)success

2)error

3)warning

4)info

5)validation error

So, let's create flash-message.blade.php file and put bellow code on that file.

resources/views/flash-message.blade.php

@if ($message = Session::get('success'))

<div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>

</div>

@endif

@if ($message = Session::get('error'))

<div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>

</div>

@endif

@if ($message = Session::get('warning'))

<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>

</div>

@endif

@if ($message = Session::get('info'))

<div class="alert alert-info alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>

</div>

@endif

@if ($errors->any())

<div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">

<strong>Please check the form below for errors</strong>

<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>

</div>

@endif

Step 2: Use Flash Message in Theme

In this step we have to just include flash-message.blade.php file in your theme default file. You have to just include this flash file in your default theme blade file like as bellow:

@include('flash-message')

You can also see i added flash file on my theme, so you can add that way. Let's see bellow example:

resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8">

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<!-- Styles -->

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" ></script>

</head>

<body>

<div class="container">

@include('flash-message')

@yield('content')

</div>

<!-- Scripts -->

<script src="/js/app.js"></script>

</body>

</html>

Step 3: Use Flash Messages with Redirect

In this step we will learn how to give message when you redirect one by one:

1. Redirect with success message

We can simple redirect route or redirect url or redirect back with success flash message, we can use in controller like this way:

public function create(Request $request)

{

$this->validate($request,[

'title' => 'required',

'details' => 'required'

]);


$items = Item::create($request->all());


return back()->with('success','Item created successfully!');

}

You can get layout of success flash message:

2. Redirect with error message

We can simple redirect route or redirect url or redirect back with error flash message, we can use in controller like this way:

public function create(Request $request)

{

return redirect()->route('home')

->with('error','You have no permission for this page!');

}

You can get layout of error flash message:

3. Redirect with warning message

We can simple redirect route or redirect url or redirect back with warning flash message, we can use in controller like this way:

public function create(Request $request)

{

return redirect()->route('home')

->with('warning',"Don't Open this link");

}

You can get layout of warning flash message:

4. Redirect with info message

We can simple redirect route or redirect url or redirect back with info flash message, we can use in controller like this way:

public function create(Request $request)

{

$this->validate($request,[

'title' => 'required',

'details' => 'required'

]);


$items = Item::create($request->all());


return back()->with('info','You added new items, follow next step!');

}

You can get layout of info flash message:

5. Validation Error

If you use laravel 5 validation then you will redirect back with errors automatically, At that time it will also generate error flash message.

public function create(Request $request)

{

$this->validate($request,[

'title' => 'required',

'details' => 'required'

]);


.....

}

You can get layout of error flash message:

This way you can simple implement flash message in your laravel application.

I hope it can help you....
