Alert Messages

Now we want users to know what's the status of their request by displaying an alert message.

Using alert_msg($status);

Create a with_msg(["message" => ""]). Alert types example [ default, primary, success, warning, danger ] to give colors to the message to be shown.

After you set a with_msg() you can now show it to the views using the alert_msg() helper function. This helper function will display as alert and unset/removes the alert when refreshing the page.

How to display to views?

Just echo the alert_msg() helper function in your views like this.

• Note: that the default color of the alert message is info

<?= alert_msg('danger') ?>

Using Error::any();

You can display errors using the loop to customized the looks of the alerts. Error:any() contains all the message produce by the applciation.

<?php if (!empty(Error::any())) { ?>
    <div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
        <?= implode("<br>", Error::any()) ?>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
            <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
    </div>
<?php } ?>

when using this method, make sure the alert message is dismissable everytime you refresh the page. To do that we need to add a clear() method above the footer include at the bottom of our file.

  </div>
    </div>
</div>
<?php Error::clear() ?>
<?php require __DIR__ . '/../layouts/footer.php'; ?>
