How to show json encoded array in Sweet alert message - php

Question

I'm using Laravel 8 and Sweet Alert and I wanted to show the error messages that were caught by error Exception as Sweet Alert error popup message.
Basically here is my Controller method:
try{
...
}catch(\Exception $e){
// Alert::error('Error Title', 'Error Message');
return json_encode(['status' => '500', 'msg' => __('message.error-server')]);
}
So as you can see I have json encoded an associative array that holds the information of the error message but I don't want to return it. In fact I have to show it as Alert::error(...).
So how can I do that?
UPDATE 1:
I just tested this but not showing me the error as Alert:
public function destroy(User $user)
{
try{
$useradasd->is_active = 0;
$useradasd->is_deleted = 1;
$useradasd->remover_id = Auth::id();
$useradasd->save();
}catch(\Exception $e){
$attributes = ['status' => '500', 'msg' => __('message.error-server')];
$dataAttributes = array_map(function($value, $key) {
return $key.'=>'.$value;
}, array_values($attributes), array_keys($attributes));
$associativeString = implode(', ', $dataAttributes);
Alert::error($associativeString);
}
Alert::success('Removed', 'That user is deleted');
return back();
}
UPDATE 2:
I just tried this, but does not catch the error exception and show me the Alert::success(...) instead.
public function destroy(User $user)
{
try{
$useradasd->is_active = 0;
$useradasd->is_deleted = 1;
$useradasd->remover_id = Auth::id();
$useradasd->save();
}catch(\Exception $e){
$attributes = ['status' => '500', 'msg' => __('message.error-server')];
$dataAttributes = array_map(function($value, $key) {
return $key.'=>'.$value;
}, array_values($attributes), array_keys($attributes));
$associativeString = implode(', ', $dataAttributes);
Alert::error('Error',$associativeString);
}
Alert::success('Removed', 'That user is deleted');
return back();
}
UPDATE #3:
I can finally get the error:
But I wanted to show $attributes['status'] which is 500 as Error Title and the body of that error contains $attributes['msg']. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can do this:
$attributes = ['status' => '500', 'msg' => __('message.error-server')
$dataAttributes = array_map(function($value, $key) {
return $key.'=>'.$value;
}, array_values($attributes), array_keys($attributes));
$associativeString = implode(', ', $dataAttributes);
What this does basically is, it will convert the associative array to string first and then you can use the final string i.e.$associativeString in your alert as:
Alert::error($associativeString);
this will output like:
status => 500, msg => Internal Server Error
you can modify return $key.'=>'.$value; inside map to shape the final output the way you want.
UPDATE #1
Looking at the SweetAlert docs you used, I believe it follows the syntax of Alert::[type]([Title],[message]), You can update the alert from this:
Alert::error($associativeString);
to this:
Alert::error('Error',$associativeString);
UPDATE #2
public function destroy(User $user)
{
try{
$useradasd->is_active = 0;
$useradasd->is_deleted = 1;
$useradasd->remover_id = Auth::id();
$useradasd->save();
throw new Exception("Custom Exception from try block");
}catch(\Exception $e){
$attributes = ['status' => '500', 'msg' => $e->getMessage()];
$dataAttributes = array_map(function($value, $key) {
return $key.'=>'.$value;
}, array_values($attributes), array_keys($attributes));
$associativeString = implode(', ', $dataAttributes);
Alert::error('Error',$associativeString);
}
return back();
}
UPDATE #3
You should work on improving your concepts of arrays in php and how they work learn How PHP associative arrays work, now according to your requirement you should not convert the associative array to string as I suggested in my original answer. try this instead:
public function destroy(User $user)
{
try{
$useradasd->is_active = 0;
$useradasd->is_deleted = 1;
$useradasd->remover_id = Auth::id();
$useradasd->save();
throw new Exception("Custom Exception from try block");
}catch(\Exception $e){
$attributes = ['status' => '500', 'msg' => $e->getMessage()];
Alert::error($attributes['status'],$attributes['msg']);
}
return back();
}
the Alert::error() takes two parameters the first one is Title and the second is the message, you just have to fetch the value from related keys of associative array i.e. status and msg in our case.

Answer 2

This Should Work
Alert::error(json_encode(['status' => '500', 'msg' => __('message.error-server')],JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));
