How to show error and success messages in different ways?

Answer 1

You can use something like this:

public function store(PostRequest $request) {
    if (Post::create($request->all())) {
        $request->session()->flash('message.level', 'success');
        $request->session()->flash('message.content', 'Post was successfully added!');
    } else {
        $request->session()->flash('message.level', 'danger');
        $request->session()->flash('message.content', 'Error!');
    }
    return redirect('/');
}

In your blade file:

@if(session()->has('message.level'))
    <div class="alert alert-{{ session('message.level') }}"> 
    {!! session('message.content') !!}
    </div>
@endif

The code above uses bootstrap's alert css classes for styling and is inspired by Jeffrey Way's Laracasts Flash package

Answer 2

You can display flash messages in this way:

In your controller:

$request->session()->flash('success', 'Record successfully added!');
//OR
$request->session()->flash('warning', 'Record not added!');

In your veiw:

@foreach (['danger', 'warning', 'success', 'info'] as $key)
 @if(Session::has($key))
     <p class="alert alert-{{ $key }}">{{ Session::get($key) }}</p>
 @endif
@endforeach

1. Write code like this in your Blade template:

   @if(Session::has('error'))
       <p class="alert alert-danger">{{ Session::get('error') }}</p>
   @endif
   

2. Write code like this in your Controller:

   Session::flash('error', 'Some thing is wrong. Please try again');
   Redirect::to(path to blade file route);
