Bootstrap Growl is a jQuery plugin. This plugin works when we use plugin files inside application. It provides CSS & JS files.

Plugin JS Link

# URL

# Tag
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-growl/1.0.0/jquery.bootstrap-growl.min.js"></script>

# Tag
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">

When we link these files with application, then we will able to use the methods of Bootstrap Growl Plugin.

$.bootstrapGrowl("<Message Here>", {})

Create Controller

Back to project terminal and run this artisan command.

$ php artisan make:controller SiteController

It will create a file SiteController.php inside /app/Http/Controllers folder.

Open SiteController.php and write this code into it.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class SiteController extends Controller
{
    public function showGrowlMessages(){

        // Flash messages settings
       
        session()->flash("success", "This is success message");
   
        session()->flash("warning", "This is warning message");
   
        session()->flash("info", "This is information message");
   
        session()->flash("error", "This is error message");
   
        return view("growl-notification");
      }
}

Here,

We stored each level of messages into it’s key. Like we have messages for success, error, warning, etc. These messages only for demonstration. You can change it according to need.

Create Template

Create a file growl-notification.blade.php inside /resources/views folder.

Open template file and write this code into it.

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>  
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-growl/1.0.0/jquery.bootstrap-growl.min.js"></script>


<script>
$(function(){

    @if(Session::has('success'))
        $.bootstrapGrowl('{{ Session::get("success") }}',{
            type: 'success',
            delay: 4000,
        });
    @endif

    @if(Session::has('error'))
        $.bootstrapGrowl('{{ Session::get("error") }}',{
            type: 'danger',
            delay: 4000,
        });
    @endif

    @if(Session::has('info'))
        $.bootstrapGrowl('{{ Session::get("info") }}',{
            type: 'info',
            delay: 4000,
        });
    @endif

    @if(Session::has('warning'))
        $.bootstrapGrowl('{{ Session::get("warning") }}',{
            type: 'warning',
            delay: 4000,
        });
    @endif
});
</script>

    });
@endif

//...
Route::get('growl-notification', [SiteController::class, 'showGrowlMessages']);
