Usage

Adding a Message

Adding a message is as easy as following:

Messages::add('success', 'A successful message');

You can also chain messages:

Messages::add('success', 'A successful message')
    ->add('error', 'Some error');

Extending a Message to Current Request

There might be situation where you need to extend a message to the current response instead of the following request. You can do this with:

Messages::extend(function ($message) {
    $message->add('info', 'Read-only mode');
});

Displaying the Message in a View

Here's an example how you can display the message:

<?php

$message = Messages::copy();

if ($message instanceof Orchestra\Messages\MessageBag) {
    $message->setFormat('<div class="alert alert-:key">:message</div>');

    foreach (['error', 'info', 'success'] as $key) {
        if ($message->has($key)) {
            echo implode('', $message->get($key));
        }
    }
}
