You can install the package for your Laravel project through Composer.

# Laravel 4x

Register the service provider in app/config/app.php.

Andheiberg\Notify\NotifyServiceProvider::class,

Add the alias to the list of aliases in app/config/app.php.

Configuration

The packages provides you with some configuration options.

To create the configuration file run this command in your command line app:

# Laravel 4x
php artisan config:publish andheiberg/notify

# Laravel 5x
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Andheiberg\Notify\NotifyServiceProvider"

The configuration file will be published here: app/config/packages/andheiberg/notify/config.php.

Usage

Adding Notifications

By default, the package has some notification types defined in its configuration file. The default types are success, error, warning and info.

Every type can be called as a function.

Notify::info('This is an info message.');
Notify::error('Whoops, something has gone wrong.');

You can of course add your own types by adding them to your own config file. See above on how to publish the config file.

You can also pass a language tag for easy localization.

Notify::success('auth.login-successful'); // Calls Lang::get('auth.login-successful') behind the scene
Notify::warning('auth.verification-email-sent', ['email' => 'test@gmail.com']) // You can also pass replacements

Displaying Notifications

Notify class is just an extension of Illuminate's MessageBag class, which means we can use all of its functionality to display messages.

@foreach (Notify::all() as $notification)
    {{ $notification }}
@endforeach

Or if you'd like to display a single notification for a certain level.

@if (Notify::has('success'))
    {{ Notify::first('success') }}
@endif

If you'd like to learn more ways on how you can display messages, please take a closer look to Illuminate's MessageBag class.

Bootstrap example

@if (Notify::all())
	<div class="container">
		@foreach (Notify::get('success') as $alert)
			<div class="alert alert-success">
				<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">&times;</button>
				{{ $alert }}
			</div>
		@endforeach

		@foreach (Notify::get('error') as $alert)
			<div class="alert alert-danger">
