Installation

Just place require new package for your laravel installation via composer.json

"edvinaskrucas/notification": "5.*"

Then hit composer update

Version matrix

Laravel Version Package version
>= 5 >= 5
>= 4, < 5 >= 2, <= 3

Registering to use it with laravel

Add following lines to app/config/app.php

ServiceProvider array

'Krucas\Notification\NotificationServiceProvider'

Alias array

'Notification' => 'Krucas\Notification\Facades\Notification'

Kernel middleware array (must be placed after 'Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession' middleware)

'Krucas\Notification\Middleware\NotificationMiddleware'

Now you are able to use it with Laravel4.

Publishing config file

If you want to edit default config file, just publish it to your app folder.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Krucas\Notification" --tag="config"

Usage

Default usage

Adding message to default container.

Notification::success('Success message');
Notification::error('Error message');
Notification::info('Info message');
Notification::warning('Warning message');

Containers

Containers allows you to set up different containers for different placeholders.

You can pass closure to modify containers, simply use this syntax showed below

Notification::container('myContainer', function($container)
{
    $container->info('Test info message');
    $container->error('Error');
});

Also you can access container like this

Notification::container('myContainer')->info('Info message');

Method chaining

Notification::container('myContainer')->info('Info message')->error('Error message');

If you want to use default container just use null as container name. Name will be taken from config file.

Notification::container()->info('Info message');

Instant notifications (shown in same request)

Library supports not only flash messages, if you want to show notifications in same request just use

Notification::successInstant('Instant success message');

Custom single message format

Want a custom format for single message? No problem

Notification::success('Success message', 'Custom format :message');

Add multiple messages

If you want to add multiple notifications you can pass notication message as array

Notification::success(array(
    'Message one',
    array('Message two with its format', 'My format: :message')
    array('message' => 'ok', 'format' => ':message', 'alias' => 'okMsg', 'position' => 5)
));

Also you can still pass second param (format), to format messages, but you can format individual messages as shown above.

Add message as object

You can add messages as objects

Notification::success(
    Notification::message('Sample text')
);

When adding message as object you can add additional params to message

Notification::success(
    Notification::message('Sample text')->format(':message')
);

Accessing first notification from container

You can access and show just first notification in container

{!! Notification::container('myContainer')->get('success')->first() !!}

Accessing first notification from all types

{!! Notification::container('myContainer')->all()->first() !!}

Displaying notifications

To display all notifications in a default container you need to add just one line to your view file

{!! Notification::showAll() !!}

When using showAll() you may want to group your messages by type, it can be done like this

{!! Notification::group('info', 'success', 'error', 'warning')->showAll() !!}

This will group all your messages in group and output it, also you can use just one, two or three groups.

Manipulating group output on the fly

Notification::addToGrouping('success')->removeFromGrouping('error');

Display notifications by type in default container, you can pass custom format

{!! Notification::showError() !!}
{!! Notification::showInfo() !!}
{!! Notification::showWarning() !!}
{!! Notification::showSuccess(':message') !!}

Displaying notifications in a specific container with custom format.

{!! Notification::container('myContainer')->showInfo(':message') !!}

Message aliasing

You can add message with an alias, then if you want to override that message just add new one with same alias. It works in a same type scope.

Notification::success(Notification::message('ok')->alias('okMsg'));

// We need to override first success message, just alias it with same alias name.
Notification::success(Notification::message('ok2')->alias('okMsg'));

With aliasing you can override message type too

Notification::info(Notification::message('info')->alias('loginMsg'));

// Overrides info message with error message
Notification::error(Notification::message('error')->alias('loginMsg'));

Getting aliased message instance.

Notification::getAliased('loginMsg');

Method getAliased($alias) is available in all scopes (Notification, NotificationBag and Collection), if no message will be found with given alias, null will be returned.

Message positioning

There is ability to add message to certain position. It works in same type scope.

// This will add message at 5th position
Notification::info(Notification::message('info')->position(5));
Notification::info(Notification::message('info2')->position(1);

Retrieving messages at certain position

Notification::getAtPosition(5);

Above example will return message at fifth position in a default container.

Aliasing with a position

You can alias message and add it to a certain position. It works in same type scope.

Notification::info(Notification::message('info')->alias('infoMsg')->position(4));
// If we want to override and set other position
Notification::info(Notification::message('info2')->alias('infoMsg')->position(1));

Clearing messages

You can clear all messages or by type.

Notification::clearError();
Notification::clearWarning();
Notification::clearSuccess();
Notification::clearInfo();
Notification::clearAll();

Add message and display it instantly in a view file

Want to add message in a view file and display it? Its very simple:

{!! Notification::container('myInstant')
        ->infoInstant('Instant message added in a view and displayed!') !!}

You can also add multiple messages

{!! Notification::container('myInstant')
        ->infoInstant('Instant message added in a view and displayed!')
        ->errorInstant('Error...') !!}
