flash_it

Welcome to flash_it !

The long desired flash message translation helper

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'flash_it'

Usage

Default usage

  class UsersController < ApplicationController
    def update
      if current_user.profile.update_attributes(user_params)
        flash_it :success
        redirect_to :back
      else
        flash_it :error
        render :edit
      end
    end
  end

flash_it will make a lookup in your translation files for

en:
  flash_messages:
    users:
      update:
        success: This was sucessfully
        error: Oops, there was something wrong

Advanced usage

By default, the type of the flash message is success if the argument was not :error. You can change this behavior and set the type of the flash message by passing a second argument. flash_it :success, :notice then will be a flash[:notice]

Also you can do something like flash_it(:attention, :warning)

There is no need to give an argument :success this is the default lookup. flash_it is exactly equal to flash_it :success

Controller Namespacing

If you are having namespaced controllers, just edit your yml file to the namespaces Lets say we have a Admin::Users::PaymentHistoryController, then your yml file needs to look like this

en:
  flash_messages:
    admin:
      users:
        payment_history:
          update:
            success: "This was successfull!"
