flash in node.js / express

 搭建环境

npm i connect-flash

How to use it 

Flash messages are stored in the session. 所以设置flash的第一步是设置session middleware.Then, use flash middleware provided by connect-flash. 这里session设置省略，可看另一篇文章：http://t.csdn.cn/xABkX

以及session存储在node.js里及其简单，几乎自动，具体案例：udemy sec48 express session.所以此处无需考虑具体储存。

const flash = require('connect-flash');

app.use(flash());

 doc 示例code

app.get('/flash', function(req, res){
  // Set a flash message by passing the key, followed by the value, to req.flash().
  req.flash('info', 'Flash is back!')
  res.redirect('/');
});
 
app.get('/', function(req, res){
  // Get an array of flash messages by passing the key to req.flash()
  res.render('index', { messages: req.flash('info') });
});

老师用下面code简化了每个render都要pass message。app.use()是不管传递什么页面都要经历的一个东西，所以在这里可以使得message平等的传递给每一个页面。所以，我们可以在boilerplate里加上对于message的传递 

app.use((req, res, next) => {
    res.locals.success = req.flash('success');
    res.locals.error = req.flash('error');
    next();
})

boilerplate.ejs 里<%- body %>前一行加入

<%- include('../partials/flash')  %>

flash.ejs (内含bootstrap 格式)

<% if(success && success.length) {%>
    <div class="alert alert-success alert-dimissible fade show" role="alert">
        <%= success %>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close">
            <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
    </div>
    <% } %>

剩下就在需要flash的地方如doc所示flash就行

app.get('/flash', function(req, res){
  // Set a flash message by passing the key, followed by the value, to req.flash().
  req.flash('info', 'Flash is back!')
  res.redirect('/');
});
