README

Inspired by Easy Sweet Alert Messages for Laravel, this package provides a way of constructing alerts for the UI of your app.

Out of the box, this package supports SweetAlert2 but its output can be tailored to support other plugins if you wish to create toasts alongside your SweetAlerts for example.

Installation

composer require synergitech/laravel-alert

Laravel should be able to automatically detect the package and include it.

You should also make sure you have appropriately installed SweetAlert2 and/or any other notification package into your apps UI.

Quick Start

You can use the facade or the helper function in your app to generate alerts containing a simple title, text, and type element.

use Alert;

...

Alert::message('Message', 'Optional Title');
Alert::info('Info Message', 'Optional Title');
Alert::success('Success Message', 'Optional Title');
Alert::error('Error Message', 'Optional Title');
Alert::warning('Warning Message', 'Optional Title');

alert()->message('Message', 'Optional Title');
alert()->info('Info Message', 'Optional Title');
alert()->success('Success Message', 'Optional Title');
alert()->error('Error Message', 'Optional Title');
alert()->warning('Warning Message', 'Optional Title');

To actually display the alert you will need to include a short snippet of code in your main view file. This package only outputs complete JSON objects into your session.

Please note this data is put into your session so you have to pull it to clear it out of the session. This allows you to not lose alerts from background ajax calls.

Blade

@if (Session::has('alert.sweetalert'))
    <script>
        Swal.fire({!! Session::pull('alert.sweetalert') !!});
    </script>
@endif

Twig

{% if session_has('alert.sweetalert') %}
    <script>
        Swal.fire({{ session_pull('alert.sweetalert')|raw }});
    </script>
{% endif %}

Advanced Usage

This package provides a builder-like syntax allowing you to customise the alert further. The following examples provide identical output.

alert()->warning('You need to complete extra fields', 'Unable to submit');

\Alert::warning('You need to complete extra fields')
    ->title('Unable to submit');

alert()->type('warning')
    ->message('You need to complete extra fields')
    ->title('Unable to submit');

You can customise the fields available by publishing the config to your application. Read the config file for more details.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="SynergiTech\Alert\ServiceProvider"

Multiple Output Types

If you specify a second output, for example to create a toast option, this library will always add both to the session unless you ask for a specific type (v2 only).

// in your controller

alert()->output('toast')->info('Please check your settings.');

// OR

alert()->as('toast')->info('Please check your settings.');

Example config:

// config/alert.php

'output' => [
    'sweetalert' => [
        'title' => 'title',
        'text' => 'text',
        'icon' => 'type',
    ],
    'toast' => [
        'text' => 'text',
        'icon' => 'type',
    ],
],
