Sending session message with window.location.href
window.location.href = '/plant_types/'+this.plant.id; How would I set the session variable so the page '/plant_types/'+this.plant.id' displays a flash('message'). In laravel controller I would normally use
Session::flash('success', 'Questions successfully updated!!');
return view('plant_types.show');
Level 12
Yes but my component posts to laravel and on response redirects to window.location.href = '/plant_types/'+this.plant.id; to ensure the data has been updated.
Level 47
couldn't you just send the message to the view from the controller that handles the endpoint /plant_types/{id} ?

Not really explained this very well. I have built the Vue Flash message component in Episode 29 of Lets build a forum with Laravel.
I am redirecting from my component after the response from the back end. This ensures my data is updated before I display it. I want to redirect to '/plant_types/'+this.plant.id and then display a the success message. As I'm redirecting from the component I used
window.location.href = '/plant_types/'+this.plant.id;
If I try to redirect to the page from the laravel controler with no response the axios post fails with a 500 error.
Can I redirect from the vue component with the equivalent of the ->with('flash', 'Updated Questions!!') so my Vue flash component works.

You are right. I over complicated the matter.
Session::flash('flash', 'Updated Successfully!!);
I'd used
Session::flash('success', 'Updated Successfully!!);
and got the Bootstrap messages.
