PHPFlasher is modular and consists of multiple libraries, allowing users to install and use only the specific components they need for their project.

Installation

PHPFlasher can be installed using composer :

Laravel:

composer require php-flasher/flasher-laravel


Symfony:

composer require php-flasher/flasher-symfony

PHPFlasher includes a default notification style , but users can also install additional adapters to customize the appearance of notifications within their projects such as :


General Usage

To display a notification message, you can either use the flash() helper method or obtain an instance of flasher from the service container. Then, before returning a view or redirecting, call the addSuccess() method and pass in the desired message to be displayed.

#/ PHPFlasher

class BookController
{
    public function saveBook()
    {
        // ...

        flash('Your account has been reactivated.');
        
        flash()->addSuccess('Your reservation has been confirmed.');
        
        flash()
            ->success('Your review has been submitted.')
            ->flash();
            
        app('flasher')->addSuccess('Task completed successfully.');

        // ... redirect or render the view
    }
    
    /**
     * if you prefer to use dependency injection 
     */
    public function register(FlasherInterface $flasher)
    {
        // ...
        
        $flasher->addSuccess('Your account has been un-terminated.');
        
        // ... redirect or render the view
    }
}


It’s important to choose a message that is clear and concise, and that accurately reflects the outcome of the operation.
In this case, "Book has been created successfully!" is already a good message, but you may want to tailor it to fit the specific context and language of your application.

Using this package is actually pretty easy. Adding notifications to your application actually require only one line of code.

#/ usage addSuccess

flash()->addSuccess('Your account has been restored.');
#/ usage addError

flash()->addError('There was an issue saving your information.');
#/ usage addWarning

flash()->addWarning('Your password may be at risk.');
#/ usage addInfo

flash()->addInfo('Your payment has been accepted and a confirmation email has been sent.');

These four methods (addSuccess, addError, addWarning, addInfo) are simply convenience shortcuts for the addFlash method, allowing you to specify the type and message in a single method call rather than having to pass both as separate arguments to the addFlash method.

flash()->addFlash(string $type, string $message, string $title = null, array $options = [])
#/ usage addFlash

flash()->addFlash('success', 'Your account has been de-registered.');
param description  
$type Notification type : success, error, warning, info ….etc  
$message The body of the message you want to deliver to your user. This may contain HTML. If you add links, be sure to add the appropriate classes for the framework you are using.  
$title The notification title, Can also include HTML  
$options Custom options for javascript libraries (toastr, noty, notyf …etc)  

Modifiers

options

You can specify custom options for the flash messages when using a JavaScript library like toastr, noty, or notyf.

The options() method allows you to set multiple options at once by passing an array of key-value pairs, while the option() method allows you to set a single option by specifying its name and value as separate arguments.

The optional $merge argument for the options() method can be used to specify whether the new options should be merged with any existing options, or whether they should overwrite them.

flash()->options(array $options, bool $merge = true);

Refer to the documentation for your chosen JavaScript library to see which options are available and how they should be formatted.

#/ usage options

flash()
    ->options([
        'timeout' => 3000, // 3 seconds
        'position' => 'top-center',
    ])
    ->addWarning('Your account may not have been re-verified.');
param description
$options Custom options to be passed to the javascript libraries (toastr, noty, notyf …etc)
$merge Merge options if you call the options method multiple times

option

Set a single option by specifying its name and value as separate arguments.

flash()->option(string $option, mixed $value);
#/ usage option

flash()
    ->option('position', 'top-center')
    ->option('timeout', 3000)
    ->addSuccess('Your account has been re-verified.');
param description
$option Option key
$value Option value

priority

Sets the priority of a flash message, the highest priority will be displayed first.

flash()->priority(int $priority);
#/ usage priority

flash()
    ->priority(3)
    ->addSuccess('Priority 3 → Your account has been linked.');

flash()
    ->priority(1)
    ->addError('Priority 1 → There was an issue re-verifying your account.');

flash()
    ->priority(4)
    ->addWarning('Priority 4 → Your password may not have been changed.');

flash()
    ->priority(2)
    ->addInfo('Priority 2 → Your account has been unlocked and a confirmation email has been sent.');
param description
$priority The priority of the notification, the higher the priority, the sooner it will be displayed

hops

This method sets the number of requests that the flash message should persist for. By default, flash messages are only displayed for a single request and are then discarded. By setting the number of hops, the flash message will be persisted for multiple requests.

As an example, with a multi-page form, you may want to store messages until all pages have been filled.

flash()->hops(int $hops);
flash()
    ->hops(2)
    ->addError('There was an issue un-terminating your account.');
param description
$hops indicate how many requests the flash message will persist for

translate

This method sets the locale to be used for the translation of the flash message. If a non-null value is provided, the flash message will be translated into the specified language. If null is provided, the default locale will be used.

flash()->translate(string $locale = null);
#/ usage translate

flash()
    ->translate('ar')
    ->addSuccess('Your request was processed successfully.', 'Congratulations!');
#/ usage translate with position

flash()
    ->translate('ar')
    ->option('position', 'top-left')
    ->addSuccess('Your request was processed successfully.', 'Congratulations!');
param description
$locale The locale to be used for the translation, or null to use the default locale

It is important to note that the translate() method only sets the locale to be used for the translation of the flash message. It does not actually perform the translation itself.

In order to translate the flash message, you will need to provide the appropriate translation keys in your translation files.

In the above example, to translate the flash message into Arabic, If you are using Laravel you will need to add the following keys to the resources/lang/ar/messages.php file:

return [
    'Your request was processed successfully.' => 'تمت العملية بنجاح.',
    'Congratulations!' => 'تهانينا',
];
