A helper package to flash a bootstrap alert to the browser via a Facade or a helper function.

<div class="alert alert-info fade in">
	<i class="fa-fw fa fa-smile-o"></i>
	<strong>Title</strong> Description
</div>

###Want to see the current package in action, have a look at my starter project. ###Laravel Starter Project

First, pull in the package through Composer.

"require": {
	"bpocallaghan/alert": "1.*"
}

OR

composer require bpocallaghan/alert

Include the service provider within config\app.php.

'providers' => [
	Bpocallaghan\Alert\AlertServiceProvider::class,
];

Add a facade alias or use the globel helper function alert().

'aliases' => [
	'Alert' => Bpocallaghan\Alert\Facades\Alert::class,
];

Within any view file.

@include('alert::alert')

Within any Controller.

public function index()
{
    // helper function - default to the 'info'
	alert('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum');
	
	// return object first
	alert()->info('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum');
	
	// via the facade
    Alert::info('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum');
	
	return view('home');
}

The different 'levels' are:

• alert()->info('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum');
• alert()->success('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum');
• alert()->warning('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum');
• alert()->error('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum');

The different arguments:

• alert()->info('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum', false); // without the icon
• alert()->info('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum', 'smile-o'); // specify the icon class
• alert()->message('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum', 'smile-o', 'info'); // specify the type of level
• alert()->message('Title', 'Lorem Ipsum', 'smile-o', 'info', false); // do not show the 'close' button

If you need to modify the view partial, you can run:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bpocallaghan\Alert\AlertServiceProvider"

The view partial can be found here resources\views\vendor\alert\alert.blade.
