I am going to explain you example of laravel 8 flash message example. We will use laravel 8 flash message from controller. step by step explain laravel 8 flash message notification. this example will help you flash message laravel 8. you will do the following things for create flash message laravel 8.

we will define various type of flash message notification like alert success, alert danger, alert info, alert warning messages in bootstrap laravel 8 projects. When you have success task on controller method then you can use success flash message, if you have any error task then you can use error flash message.

Flash messages are required in laravel 8 application because that way we can give alter with what progress complete, error, warning etc. In this tutorial, I added several ways to give a flash message like redirect with 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 good layout.

So, you have to just follow the basic three step to integrate flash message in your laravel 8 application. So let's follow 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-block">

<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>

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

</div>

@endif

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

<div class="alert alert-danger alert-block">

<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>

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

</div>

@endif

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

<div class="alert alert-warning alert-block">

<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>

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

</div>

@endif

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

<div class="alert alert-info alert-block">

<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>

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

</div>

@endif

@if ($errors->any())

<div class="alert alert-danger">

<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>

Please check the form below for errors

</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="/css/app.css" rel="stylesheet">

</head>

<body>


<div id="app">

@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 8 application.

I hope it can help you....
