Flashes

Styles Rails flash messages similar to macOS notifications.

Setup

1. Add gem 'flashes', github: 'timdavies/flashes' to your Gemfile.
2. Add *= require flashes into your application.css.
3. Add //= require flashes into your application.js.
4. Somewhere in your layout, add <%= render 'flashes/flashes' %>. This is where your flash messages will be rendered, but they are positioned above the content, so location within your code doesn't matter.

Creating Flash Messages with Javascript

It's simple to create flash messages with Javascript, either within your regular Javascript code or in a Javascript response from the server.

  Flashes.create("error", "The user was not found")
  Flashes.create("success", "You have successfully logged in!")
