While doing any operation in any application we want some confirmation alerts like for success, warning, error. Why we need these ? It’s because it gives a more readable power to end users to understand what’s happening.
Inside this article we will implement or add toastr jquery notification plugin to laravel 8 application. This is laravel 8 application specific. You can use in any application of PHP.
This article will cover about using Toastr jquery plugin for message notifications to end user.
Step by step we will see their needed plugin files and implementation. Let’s get started.
Installation of Laravel 8 Application
Laravel Installation can be done in two ways.
- Laravel Installer
- By using composer
Laravel Installer
To install Laravel via Laravel installer, we need to install it’s installer first. We need to make use of composer for that.
$ composer global require laravel/installer
This command will install laravel installer at system. This installation is at global scope, so you type command from any directory at terminal. To verify type the given command –
$ laravel
This command will open a command palette of Laravel Installer.
To create ad install laravel project in system,
$ laravel new blog
With the name of blog a laravel project will be created at your specified path.
By using composer
Alternatively, we can also install Laravel by Composer command create-project. If your system doesn’t has Composer Installed, Click here to Install Composer ? Here is the complete command to create a laravel project-
$ composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
After following these steps we can install a Laravel 8 application into system. To start the development server of Laravel –
$ php artisan serve
This command outputs –
Starting Laravel development server: http://127.0.0.1:8000
Assuming laravel 8 already installed at system.
Required Plugin Files
Toastr jQuery plugin file
# URL https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/toastr.js/latest/toastr.min.js # Tag <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/toastr.js/latest/toastr.min.js"></script>
Toastr CSS File
# URL https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/toastr.js/latest/css/toastr.css # Tag <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/toastr.js/latest/css/toastr.css">
We need a plugin JS file and a CSS file for its layout styling. After adding these plugin files, we are allowed to use it’s methods like –
- toastr.success(“<Message Here>”)
- toastr.error(“<Message Here>”)
- toastr.info(“<Message Here>”)
- toastr.warning(“<Message Here>”)
Implementing Toastr jQuery Plugin
Let’s create a simple application where we will see the step by step implementation of Toastr jQuery plugin files.
Create Route
Routes can be configured into web.php which is at /routes folder.
//... other routes Route::get("toastr-notification", [MessageNotificationController::class, "showToastrMessages"]);
Create Controller
$ php artisan make:controller MessageNotificationController
Open MessageNotificationController.php from /app/Http/Controllers
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class MessageNotificationController extends Controller { public function showToastrMessages(){ // 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("toastr-notification"); } }
Create Blade Template File
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/toastr.js/latest/toastr.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/toastr.js/latest/css/toastr.css"> <script> $(function(){ @if(Session::has('success')) toastr.success("{{ Session::get('success') }}"); @endif @if(Session::has('info')) toastr.info("{{ Session::get('info') }}"); @endif @if(Session::has('warning')) toastr.warning("{{ Session::get('warning') }}"); @endif @if(Session::has('error')) toastr.error("{{ Session::get('error') }}"); @endif }); </script>
Right now we are displaying these notification messages without any operations like insert, update or anything but you can use it for your application notifications.
Application Testing
Open project to terminal and type the command to start development server
$ php artisan serve
Open up the URL – http://localhost:8000/toastr-notification
