Getting session value from response

Hi All,

I have a controller that when it creates / stores a record it redirects to a edit route, when testing i am using a factory make method for the record, posting this data to the store method. Before the redirect in the store method it flashes some data to the session then redirects.

I am looking through the docs and the source but can't see a method to get the data that has been flashed to the session, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks Jamie

To retrieve data from session, and it doesn't matter if it's flash or not. Flashed data are visible only for the next request.

$value = session('key');
