Laravel Installation

Open terminal and run this command to create a laravel project.

composer create-project laravel/laravel myblog

It will create a project folder with name myblog inside your local system.

To start the development server of laravel –

php artisan serve

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Assuming laravel already installed inside your system.

SweetAlert2 Plugin Files

SweetAlert2 is a jQuery plugin. This plugin works when we use plugin files inside application. It provides CSS & JS files.

Plugin JS Link

# URL
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@9.17.2/dist/sweetalert2.min.js

# Tag
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@9.17.2/dist/sweetalert2.min.js"></script>

Bootstrap CSS Link

# URL
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@9.17.2/dist/sweetalert2.min.css

# Tag
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@9.17.2/dist/sweetalert2.min.css">

When we link these files with application, then we will able to use the methods of SweetAlert2 Plugin.

Swal.fire()

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 showMessages()
    {
        // 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("sweetalert-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 sweetalert-notification.blade.php inside /resources/views folder.

Open template file and write this code into it.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@9.17.2/dist/sweetalert2.min.css">

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@9.17.2/dist/sweetalert2.min.js"></script>


<script>
$(function(){

    @if(Session::has('success'))
        Swal.fire({
        icon: 'success',
        title: 'Great!',
        text: '{{ Session::get("success") }}'
    })
    @endif
});
</script>

Concept

Reading session stored flash message and display it into a sweetalert2 notification level.

@if(Session::has('success'))
    Swal.fire({
    icon: 'success',
    title: 'Great!',
    text: '{{ Session::get("success") }}'
})
@endif

This is for success block.

For Error Level Message

@if(Session::has('error'))
    Swal.fire({
        icon: 'error',
        title: 'Oops...',
        text: '{{ Session::get("error") }}'
    })
@endif

For Warning Level Message

@if(Session::has('warning'))
    Swal.fire({
        icon: 'warning',
        title: 'Oops...',
        text: '{{ Session::get("warning") }}'
    })
@endif

Add Route

Open web.php from /routes folder. Add this route into it.

//...
use App\Http\Controllers\SiteController;

//...
Route::get('notification', [SiteController::class, 'showMessages']);

Application Testing

php artisan serve

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/notification
