Laravel Message Binder

A little hack for Illuminate View to access flash messages easily.

You can use the withMessages method like a laravel builtin method withErrors in a general purpose.

Route::get('register', function()
{
    return View::make('user.register');
});

Route::post('register', function()
{
    $rules = array(...);

    $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);

    if ($validator->fails())
    {
        return Redirect::to('register')->withErrors($validator);
    }

    // You can use the `withMessages` method like a laravel builtin method `withErrors` in a general purpose.
    return Redirect::to('register')->withMessages(array('default' => 'Success!');
});

After redirection, you may utilize the automatically bound $messages variable in your view:

<?php echo $messages->first('default'); ?>
