Alert For Laravel

Create customizable UI alerts in Laravel.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.1
• Laravel >= 9.0

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require mayankjanidev/alert

Basic Usage

use Mayank\Alert\Alert;

Alert::info()->create();

Show the alert using the blade component:

<x-alert />

// if needed, add your own classes
<x-alert class="mb-4 max-w-lg" />

Customize the alert message:

Alert::info()->description('Profile updated.')->create();

Add a title to your alerts (optional):

Alert::info()->title('Account Updated')->description('Your profile details were successfully updated.')->create();

Config

Though completely optional, you can publish the config file to customize the below settings:

• session_key is used to set alert message in the session. Default is alert.
• theme is used to set the styling for alert message. Default is default.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Mayank\Alert\ServiceProvider --tag=config

Styling

This package does not depend on any external css or js and should work out of the box without any setup. However, you can customize the default design by publishing the views.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Mayank\Alert\ServiceProvider --tag=views

TailwindCSS

If you already have TailwindCSS installed, this package provides Tailwind specific design.

Update the config to switch to Tailwind.

// config/alert.php

return [
    'theme' => 'tailwind'
];

Also add the path to the tailwind config so it does not purge the classes when building the app.css file.

// tailwind.config.js

content: [
    ...
    "./vendor/mayankjanidev/alert/resources/views/components/tailwind/*.blade.php",
],

You can also customize Tailwind design by publishing its views:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Mayank\Alert\ServiceProvider --tag=tailwind

Alert Types

Currently, 4 types are supported: info, success, warning and failure. Use them like:

Alert::info()->create();
Alert::success()->create();
Alert::warning()->create();
Alert::failure()->create();

Custom Alert Types

Use the custom() method to create your own alert types.

Alert::custom('danger')->create();

Make sure to create the appropriate view file at resources.views.vendor.alert.components.danger

Model Alerts

Managing alerts for model specific events like created, updated and deleted throughout your app can feel repetitive. Use the model() method to automatically manage that.

use App\Models\Post;

$post = $post->save();

Alert::model($post)->create();

This will output "Post was updated.".

Similar messages will be shown for the created and deleted events. It will automatically detect the state of your model.

Customize text for model alerts

Publish the lang file and customize it to your liking.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Mayank\Alert\ServiceProvider --tag=lang

// lang/vendor/alert/en/messages.php

return [
    'model' => [
        'created' => [
            'description' => ':model_name was created.',
        ],
        'updated' => [
            'description' => ':model_name was updated.',
        ],
        'deleted' => [
            'description' => ':model_name was deleted.',
        ]
    ],
];

You can also override text for specific models:

// lang/vendor/alert/en/messages.php

return [
    'post' => [
        'created' => [
            'description' => 'Post was successfully published.',
        ],
        'updated' => [
            'description' => 'Post was successfully updated.',
        ],
        'deleted' => [
            'description' => 'Post was sent to trash.',
        ]
    ],
];

Title is also supported for alert models:

// lang/vendor/alert/en/messages.php

return [
    'model' => [
        'created' => [
            'title' => ':model_name Created.',
            'description' => ':model_name was created.'
        ],
    ],
];

Custom actions for model alerts

If you performed a custom action on a model other than create, update or delete, then you can specify it using the action() method.

Alert::model($post)->action('bookmarked')->create();

// lang/vendor/alert/en/messages.php

return [
    'post' => [
        'bookmarked' => [
            'description' => 'Post was added to bookmarks.',
        ],
    ],
];

Custom lang parameters

Lang parameters are autofilled if the model has the attribute with the same name. You can still manually specify lang parameters using the lang() method.

Alert::model($post)->action('bookmarked')->lang(['title' => $post->title])->create();

// lang/vendor/alert/en/messages.php

return [
    'post' => [
        'updated' => [
            'description' => 'Post :title was updated.',
        ],
    ],
];

Custom Entity Alerts

If you want the same features of a model alert on a custom entity, use the for() method.

Alert::for('settings')->action('profile_updated')->create();

// lang/vendor/alert/en/messages.php

return [
    'settings' => [
        'profile_updated' => [
            'description' => 'Your profile details were updated.',
        ]
    ]
];

All the model alert features like lang files, custom actions and lang parameters behave the same way for custom entity alerts.

Meta Data

You can add additional meta data to an alert. Good use cases could be links.

Alert::for('order')->action('completed')->meta(['track_order_link' => 'https://example.com'])->create();

JS Frameworks

Though this package does not supply any js components for frameworks like vue or react, you can still use the alert data to build your own component.

Use the json() method to get the current alert data in a json object.

<alert :message="{{ Alert::json() }}"></alert>
