Implement Flash Message with Laravel 5.7

To implement flash messages in Laravel 5.7, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a Flash Messages Blade Partial: First, create a Blade partial that will render the flash messages. Create a new file, let’s say flash-messages.blade.php, in the resources/views directory if it doesn’t already exist. This file will contain the HTML structure for displaying flash messages.

 @if(session('success'))
     <div class="alert alert-success">
         {{ session('success') }}
     </div>
 @endif

 @if(session('error'))
     <div class="alert alert-danger">
         {{ session('error') }}
     </div>
 @endif

2. Display the Flash Messages in Your Layout File: In your layout Blade file (e.g., resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php), include the flash messages partial where you want to display the messages, typically near the top of the layout.

 @include('flash-messages')

3. Set Flash Messages in Your Controller: To set flash messages in your controller, you can use the session method, which is available out of the box in Laravel. Here’s an example:

 public function store(Request $request)
 {
     // Your logic to store data

     // Success flash message
     session()->flash('success', 'Data has been successfully saved.');

     // Redirect back or to another page
     return redirect()->route('your.route.name');
 }

 public function delete(Request $request)
 {
     // Your logic to delete data

     // Error flash message
     session()->flash('error', 'Data could not be deleted.');

     // Redirect back or to another page
     return redirect()->route('your.route.name');
 }

Replace 'success' and 'error' with your own keys for different types of flash messages, and customize the message content accordingly.

4. Styling (Optional): You can add CSS styles to your flash messages to make them visually appealing. Laravel provides a default Bootstrap-based styling, but you can customize it to match your application’s design.

That’s it! You’ve now implemented flash messages in your Laravel 5.7 application. Flash messages are a convenient way to provide feedback to users about the success or failure of certain actions in your application.
