Coverting Rails Flash Messages to Toastr Notifications

Sir, Can i see your example?... because i have a problem in my rails 4 app

Seems to have possible XSS-vulnerability if flash message contains user input.

Change :error to 'error' and others

module ApplicationHelper
  def custom_bootstrap_flash
    flash_messages = []
    flash.each do |type, message|
      type = 'success' if type == 'notice'
      type = 'error'   if type == 'alert'
      puts type

      text = "<script>toastr.#{type}('#{message}');</script>"
      flash_messages << text.html_safe if message
    end
    flash_messages.join("\n").html_safe
  end
end

def custombootstrapflash
flashmessages = []
flash.each do |type, message|
type = :success if type == :notice
type = :error if type == :alert
text = "<script>toastr.#{type}('#{message}');</script>"
flashmessages << text.htmlsafe if message
end
flashmessages.join("\n").html_safe
end

-----> Will don't show any things.
If you want to use
You must put

type = type.to_sym

before
type = 'success' if type == 'notice'

Hey.

Using that code in your controller as the following:

redirect_to "/employees", :flash => { :success => "#{@employee.first_name} #{@employee.last_name} Added." }

or

flash.now[:success] = "#{@employee.first_name} #{@employee.last_name} Deleted Successfully."

both work. However, how do you get the toastr messages to show up when you have your views error message like so :

<% if @tool.errors.any? %>
      <div id="error_explanation" class="bit-warning close" data-dismiss="alert">
       <h2><%= pluralize(@tool.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this tool from being saved:</h2>
        <ul>
          <% @tool.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
            <li><%= message %></li>
          <% end %>
       `</ul>
      </div>
   <% end %>

I think that's not the case here because it's not from the flash message. That is for form error messages. But i think you can still use the html format in the toastr so it should be ok.

It hasn't worked for me for the form error messages.

Thank you! Works perfect!

The solution for rails 4 is here http://www.benkirane.ch/rails-4-toastrjs-notifications/, i implement in a application and work, is easy of implement.

Here's an alternative with iziToast:

module ApplicationHelper
  def flash_messages
    flash_messages = []

    flash.each do |type, message|
      return unless message

      level = case type
      when 'notice' then 'success'
      when 'alert'  then 'error'
      when 'info'   then 'info'
      when 'warn'   then 'warn'
      else
        # Log and notify that a weird flash type has appeared.
        'info'
      end

      js = javascript_tag %{iziToast.#{level}({ title: '#{level.capitalize}:', message: "#{message}" });}

      flash_messages << js
    end

    flash_messages.join('/n').html_safe
  end
end

Thanks it was helpful
