Create Alert

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to create a new type of alert, add custom methods to an alert class, set default values, handle localization within alerts, or customize how an alert is rendered to HTML.

Features

Create via Artisan

Generate a new alert class in app/Views/Alerts and its corresponding view in resources/views/alerts.

php artisan alert:create MyAlert

Custom Methods

Add methods to the alert class to fluently set attributes using $this->set('key', $value).

public function type(string $type): static
{
    return $this->set('type', $type);
}

Default Values

Define defaults for the alert by overriding the getDefaults() method.

protected function getDefaults(): array
{
    return [
        'level' => 'info',
        'dismissible' => true,
    ];
}

Localization

Handle translation within alert methods to keep the calling code clean.

public function message(string $key, array $replace = []): static
{
    return $this->set('message', trans($key, $replace));
}

HTML Rendering

The toHtml() method determines how the alert is rendered. It should return a view with the alert's attributes.

public function toHtml(): mixed
{
    return view('alerts.my-alert', $this->all());
}
