Passing a message back with a redirect

How can I pass back a message to the user upon a successful form submission and a redirect?

Is it as simple as this?

redirect()->route('somewhere.index')
        ->with('message', 'Record added successfully!');

From Google i've seen flashing messages to the session, does the above achieve the same thing?

@panthro yes, that will work.

Just make sure that the blade file that your route 'somewhere.index' goes to, has the check to show the flash message

@if (session('message'))
    <div class="alert alert-success">
        {{ session('message') }}
    </div>
@endif
