discard(k = nil) Show source

Marks the entire flash or a single flash entry to be discarded by the end of the current action:

flash.discard              # discard the entire flash at the end of the current action
flash.discard(:warning)    # discard only the "warning" entry at the end of the current action

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 203

    @now = other.now.dup
    @now.flash = self
  end
  super
end

keep(k = nil) Show source

Keeps either the entire current flash or a specific flash entry available for the next action:

flash.keep            # keeps the entire flash
flash.keep(:notice)   # keeps only the "notice" entry, the rest of the flash is discarded

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 193
def keep(k = nil)
  k = k.to_s if k
  @discard.subtract Array(k || keys)
  k ? self[k] : self
end

end

notice() Show source

Convenience accessor for flash[:notice].

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 228
def notice
  self[:notice]
end

notice=(message) Show source

Convenience accessor for flash[:notice]=.

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 233
def notice=(message)
  self[:notice] = message
end

now() Show source

Sets a flash that will not be available to the next action, only to the current.

flash.now[:message] = "Hello current action"

This method enables you to use the flash as a central messaging system in your app. When you need to pass an object to the next action, you use the standard flash assign ([]=). When you need to pass an object to the current action, you use now, and your object will vanish when the current action is done.

Entries set via now are accessed the same way as standard entries: flash['my-key'].

Also, brings two convenience accessors:

flash.now.alert = "Beware now!"
# Equivalent to flash.now[:alert] = "Beware now!"

flash.now.notice = "Good luck now!"
# Equivalent to flash.now[:notice] = "Good luck now!"

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 185
def now
  @now ||= FlashNow.new(self)
end
