Introduction

Sails Flash is a lightweight hook for Sails.js based on connect-flash that streamlines the handling of flash messages in your web applications.

Flash messages are temporary messages displayed to users, commonly used for providing feedback after form submissions, indicating successful or failed actions, and communicating validation errors.

Getting started

To get started with Sails Flash, simply install it by running:

npm install sails-flash

And that's it, you can now set and read flash messages in your Sails applications anywhere you have access to the req object.

Set a flash message

req.flash('message', 'User updated successfully')

TIP

The key can be any string you want. For convention you can limit the key to success, error, message

Read a flash message

req.flash('message')

TIP

Reading a flash message will unset it after the first time it is read(that's how flash messages works).
