About This Episode:
n this video, we take a practical, hands-on look at Alerts / Toast Messages and how they fit into Laravel’s session-driven workflow.
You’ll learn:
✨ What alerts/toasts are and why real applications rely on them
✨ How to build a clean, reusable alert component on the front end
✨ How to create a smooth developer experience on the back end
✨ How to connect both pieces using Laravel’s session flash data
✨ How to display success, warning, and error messages seamlessly
We walk through the full flow—from triggering messages in your controllers to rendering beautiful toast-style alerts in your UI. This is a foundational building block for providing meaningful feedback to your users.
By the end of the video, you’ll have a custom-built alert system that works across your entire application and follows Laravel’s best practices.
💥 About the Series:
Pragmatic Laravel focuses on building real applications with Laravel — emphasizing clarity, maintainability, and thoughtful design decisions instead of shortcuts or magic.
