Version 2.0

Alert is a Laravel package for displaying different types of messages in Laravel application views. It's designed to make flashing messages in Laravel Applications a breeze, with a lot of easy-to-use and fluent methods.

The alert is pretty easy to use, customize and extend. There are 6 out-of-box alert types, which include

Message Alert
Sticky Alert
Field Alert
FieldBag Alert
Modal Alert
Notify Alert

Fortunately, you can easily create custom types. The package can be easily extended with macros.

Quick Start

1. Install Alert with composer:

composer require digitlimit/alert

2. Somewhere in the blade template

<x-alert-message />

Example:

@extends('layouts.default')

@section('content')
  <div class="container-xxl flex-grow-1 container-p-y">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-12">
        <x-alert-message />
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="row">
      @include('form.profile')
    </div>        
  </div>

  @include('partials.footer')
@endsection

NB: At the moment the alert components are built with Twitter Bootstrap 5, and can be customized to use other CSS classes. Need to ensure bootstrap is included on the page.

3. Somewhere in the application

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Alert;

class DashboardController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        Alert::message('Welcome! Please complete your profile')
            ->info()
            ->flash();

        return view('home');
    }
}
