h2 flash message: #{content}example/index.js
app.post('/multipleMsg', function (req, res) {
var msgTypes = ['success', 'info', 'warning', 'danger'];
for (var i = 0; i < msgTypes.length; ++i) {
if (req.body[msgTypes[i]]) {
flash.flash(msgTypes[i], req.body[msgTypes[i]]);
}
}
res.redirect('/multipleMsg');
})example/flash.pug
each content, type in flash
if type === 'success' || type === 'info' || type === 'warning' || type === 'danger'
div(class="alert alert-" + type)= contentInit session.flash if needed, then save the flash message to it.
Move the flash message from locals to session so we can access the flash message in the view with flash object.
Copy the flash message from locals to session, making the flash message available for the next response.
The message in locals will be deleted (not shown this time) if cleaUp = true.
