module ActionDispatch
# The flash provides a way to pass temporary primitive-types (String, Array, Hash) between actions. Anything you place in the flash will be exposed
# to the very next action and then cleared out. This is a great way of doing notices and alerts, such as a create
# action that sets <tt>flash[:notice] = "Post successfully created"</tt> before redirecting to a display action that can
# then expose the flash to its template. Actually, that exposure is automatically done.
#
# class PostsController < ActionController::Base
# def create
# # save post
# flash[:notice] = "Post successfully created"
# redirect_to @post
# end
#
# def show
# # doesn't need to assign the flash notice to the template, that's done automatically
# end
# end
#
# show.html.erb
# <% if flash[:notice] %>
# <div class="notice"><%= flash[:notice] %></div>
# <% end %>
#
# Since the +notice+ and +alert+ keys are a common idiom, convenience accessors are available:
#
# flash.alert = "You must be logged in"
# flash.notice = "Post successfully created"
#
# This example places a string in the flash. And of course, you can put as many as you like at a time too. If you want to pass
# non-primitive types, you will have to handle that in your application. Example: To show messages with links, you will have to
# use sanitize helper.
#
# Just remember: They'll be gone by the time the next action has been performed.
#
# See docs on the FlashHash class for more details about the flash.
