PHPFlasher allows to display flash messages for common CRUD operations with ease.

Basic usage

class BookController
{
    public function save(FlasherInterface $flasher)
    {
        $book = new Book();
        $book->setTitle('The Great Gatsby');
        
        // ...
        // some logic to save the book
        
        $flasher->addCreated(); // default message: 'The resource was created'
        $flasher->addCreated('book'); // default message: 'The book was created'
        $flasher->addCreated($book); // require the book to implement the `ResourceInterface` interface

addCreated

The addCreated method is used to display a success message when a new record is created.

// default message: 'The resource was created'
$flash->addCreated(ResourceInterface|string|null $resource);

Parameter	Type	Description
$resource	ResourceInterface/string/null	Type of the resource that was created

addUpdated

The addUpdated method is used to display a success message when an existing record is updated.

// default message: 'The resource was updated'
$flash->addUpdated(ResourceInterface|string|null $resource);

Parameter	Type	Description
$resource	ResourceInterface/string/null	Type of the resource that was updated

addSaved

The addSaved method is used to display a success message when a new record is created or an existing record is updated.

// default message: 'The resource was saved'
$flash->addSaved(ResourceInterface|string|null $resource);

Parameter	Type	Description
$resource	ResourceInterface/string/null	Type of the resource that was saved

addDeleted

The addDeleted method is used to display a success message when an existing record is deleted.

// default message: 'The resource was deleted'
$flash->addDeleted(ResourceInterface|string|null $resource);

Parameter	Type	Description
$resource	ResourceInterface/string/null	Type of the resource that was deleted

addOperation

All the above CRUD operations are in fact shortcuts for the addOperation method.

The addOperation** method is used to display a predefined message for a CRUD operation. It accepts a $resource parameter that can be a string or a **ResourceInterface instance.

$flash->addOperation(string $operation, ResourceInterface|string|null $resource);

Parameter	Type	Description
$operation	string	Name of the CRUD operation
$resource	ResourceInterface/string/null	Type of the resource that was affected

Resource interface

Behind the scenes the addOperation method will use the getResourceType and getResourceName methods to get the type and name of the resource that was affected.

<?php

namespace Flasher\Prime\Translation;

interface ResourceInterface
{
    /**
     * Type of the resource that was affected.
     *
     * for example: 'book', 'author', 'category'
     */
    public function getResourceType(): string;

    /**
     * Name of the resource that was affected.
     * It will be used to identify the resource in the message.
     * 
     * for example: 'The Great Gatsby'
     * 
     * This could be for example:
     *    - the title of a book
     *    - the name of a user
     *    - the name of a category, product, etc.
     */
    public function getResourceName(): string;
}

exemple:

<?php
class Book implements ResourceInterface
{
    public function getResourceType(): string
    {
        return 'book';
    }

    public function getResourceName(): string
    {
        return 'Harry Potter';
    }
}

With this in place, the addCreated method will display the following message: ‘The book Harry Potter was created’

The format of the message is: :resource_type :resource_name was :operation

Custom messages

All the above CRUD operations message only PRESET MESSAGES that you can custom in the configuration file.

For Laravel:

// config/flasher.php
return [
    'presets' => [
        'created' => [
            'type' => 'success',
            'message' => 'The resource was created',
        ],
        'updated' => [
            'type' => 'success',
            'message' => 'The resource was updated',
        ],
        'saved' => [
            'type' => 'success',
            'message' => 'The resource was saved',
        ],
        'deleted' => [
            'type' => 'success',
            'message' => 'The resource was deleted',
        ],
    ],
];

For Symfony:

# config/packages/flasher.yaml
flasher:
    presets:
        created:
            type: success
            message: The resource was created
        updated:
            type: success
            message: The resource was updated
        saved:
            type: success
            message: The resource was saved
        deleted:
            type: success
            message: The resource was deleted

Translations

PHPFlasher allows you to translate the default messages.

For Laravel:

// resources/lang/vendor/flasher/en/messages.php
return [
    'The resource was created' => 'The :resource was created',
    'The resource was updated' => 'The :resource was updated',
    'The resource was saved' => 'The :resource was saved',
    'The resource was deleted' => 'The :resource was deleted',
];

// resources/lang/vendor/flasher/fr/messages.php
return [
    'The resource was created' => 'La ressource :resource a été ajoutée',
    'The resource was updated' => 'La ressource :resource a été mise à jour',
    'The resource was saved' => 'La ressource :resource a été enregistrée',
    'The resource was deleted' => 'La ressource :resource a été supprimée',
];

// resources/lang/vendor/flasher/ar/messages.php
return [
    'The resource was created' => 'تم إنشاء :resource',
    'The resource was updated' => 'تم تعديل :resource',
    'The resource was saved' => 'تم حفظ :resource',
    'The resource was deleted' => 'تم حذف :resource',

    'resource' => 'الملف',
];

For Symfony:

# translations/flasher.en.yaml
The resource was created: The :resource was created
The resource was updated: The :resource was updated
The resource was saved: The :resource was saved
