Laravel 9 Custom Flash Message Example With Tutorial

Hi Dev, Today,In this example, i am going to share with you laravel 9 custom flash message example. In this example of show flash messages without any package. we will learn to how to integrate and use flash message in laravel 9. This tutorial is designed to give you Laravel 9 Flash Message example. In this section, we are going to use Laravel 9 so that we can use a custom bootstrap 5 alert flash message. Our bootstrap Laravel 9 project will show some messages like an alert warning, alert danger, alert info, alert-success, etc. We can easily perform it without using any composer package. If we use the laravel 9 application, it will require the flash message because the flash message is used to provide an alert with the detail of complete progress, warning, and error, etc. The flash message can be provided in several ways like redirecting with info message, error message, success message, and warning message. In our example, we will make a good layout by using the bootstrap flash alert layout. In the laravel application, we can integrate flash message by using a step by step process, which is as follows: Step 1 : Create Global File For Flash Message In first step we will create new blade file flashMessage.blade.php. In this file we will write code of bootstrap 5 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/flashMessage.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 flashMessage.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: 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">
    
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-12 mt-5">
            @include('flashMessage')
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-12">
            @yield('content')
        </div>
    </div>
  
</div>

</body>
</html>

Step 3 : Create and Add Routes Open routes/web.php file and add the routes to manage GET and POST requests. routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\FlashMsgController;
  
/* 
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('flash-msg',[FlashMsgController::class,'index']);
Route::get('flash-msg-success',[FlashMsgController::class,'success'])->name('success');
Route::get('flash-msg-info',[FlashMsgController::class,'info'])->name('info');
Route::get('flash-msg-warning',[FlashMsgController::class,'warning'])->name('warning');
Route::get('flash-msg-error',[FlashMsgController::class,'error'])->name('error');

Step 4 : Create Controller In this step, we will create a new FlashMsgController. Let's create FlashMsgController by following command:

php artisan make:controller FlashMsgController

app/Http/Controller/FlashMsgController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class FlashMsgController extends Controller
{   
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {   
        return view('flashMessageList');
    }

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function success()
    {
        return back()->with('success','Flash message success!');
    }

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function info()
    {
        return back()->with('info','Flash message info!');
    }

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function warning()
    {
        return back()->with('warning','Flash message warning!');
    }

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function error()
    {
        return back()->with('error','Flash message error!');
    }
}

Step 5 : Create Blade File In this step, we need to create flashMessageList.php file this file we will show alert button to flash message. resources/views/flashMessageList.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <div class="col-md-12 text-center">
        <div class="card">
            <div class="card-header">
                <h3>Laravel 9 Flash Message Example - Itwebtuts</h3>
            </div>
            <div class="card-body">
                <a href="{{ route('success') }}" class="btn btn-success">Success</a>
                <a href="{{ route('info') }}" class="btn btn-info">Info</a>
                <a href="{{ route('warning') }}" class="btn btn-warning">Warning</a>
                <a href="{{ route('error') }}" class="btn btn-danger">Error</a>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
