Redirecting with a message not working in Laravel 5

I have a following code in my posts.create action. 

// ...
return redirect(route('posts.index'))->with('flashMessage', 'test');
// ...

I expect $flashMessage variable to be available in the posts.index view, however, it is not. What am I doing wrong?

P.S

I don't want to set the flash message using Session::flash('flashMessage', 'test'), because it won't work in case of json responses.

Solution

  • in redirect you have to pass url not route name add the following code to your blade page

    @if(Session::has('flashMessage'))
  <div class="alert alert-danger">
      {{ Session::get('flashMessage') }}
  </div>
@endif
