Flash Notifications for Laravel

Flash messages to the session with Laravel.

🧩 Features

• Flash multiple messages.
• Use built in notification levels (success, error, ...) or imagine your own.

✅ Requirements

• PHP >= 8.1
• Laravel >= 10.0

📦 Install

composer require codezero/laravel-flash

Laravel will automatically register the ServiceProvider.

🛠 Usage

Somewhere in your views, include the flash notifications partial:

@include('flash::notifications')

Then you can flash a message to the session in your controllers.

flash()->success('Update succeeded!');

You can also use the facade \CodeZero\Flash\Facades\Flash instead of the flash() helper.

The message will be displayed once on the next page load.

🚨 Notification Levels

You can use the built in notification levels:

flash()->info('info message');
flash()->success('success message');
flash()->warning('warning message');
flash()->error('error message');

Or you can specify a custom level:

flash()->notification('message', 'level');

🔖 Rendering Notifications

Customize the notification views

If you want to customize the templates, you can publish the views:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CodeZero\Flash\FlashServiceProvider" --tag="views"

You will find the views in resources/views/vendor/flash.

Default views for built in notification levels

A notification will be rendered using a view file which name corresponds with the notification level.

So flash()->success('message') will load a success.blade.php view file.

These views live in resources/views/vendor/flash/notifications.

Default view for custom notification levels

If no corresponding file can be found in the package's view folder, then the default.blade.php view file will be used.

So flash()->notification('message', 'custom') will load the default.blade.php view file.

This view lives in resources/views/vendor/flash/notifications.

Add views for custom notification levels

To add view files for custom levels, create them in resources/views/vendor/flash/notifications.

Override default notification views

You can override the view file to be used when you flash a notification:

// use 'resources/views/custom.blade.php' instead of
// 'resources/views/vendor/flash/notifications/success.blade.php'
flash()->success('message')->setView('custom');

The specified view name is relative to your app's view folder resources/views.

Access notification values in a view

Notification views will have a $notification variable which is an instance of \CodeZero\Flash\Notification.

This gives you access to:

{{ $notification->message }}
{{ $notification->level }}

🔧 Create Your Own Custom Flash Class

If you don't want to use the built in notification levels and want to create your own, you can extend the \CodeZero\Flash\BaseFlash class.

<?php

namespace App;

use CodeZero\Flash\BaseFlash;

class YourCustomFlash extends BaseFlash
{
    /**
     * Flash a notification.
     *
     * @param string $message
     *
     * @return \CodeZero\Flash\Notification
     */
    public function danger($message)
    {
        return $this->notification($message, 'danger');
    }
}

Then change the flash binding in the register method of your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider:

public function register()
{
    $this->app->bind('flash', \App\YourCustomFlash::class);
}

⚙️ Publish Configuration File

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CodeZero\Flash\FlashServiceProvider" --tag="config"

You will now find a flash.php file in the config folder.
