Laravel - HTTP Session Flash Data dont work - php

Question

The Laravel documentation:
Sometimes you may wish to store items in the session for the next request. You may do so using the flash method.
$request->session()->flash('status', 'Task was successful!');
my code:
public function store(StorePost $request)
{
$validated = $request->validate();
$post = new Posts();
$post->title = $validated['title'];
$post->content = $validated['content'];
$post->save();
$request->session()->flash('status', 'Task was successful!');
return redirect()->route('posts.show', [$post->id]);
}
and my IDE vscode throw error looks like this:
error in flash
Some help in this error ?

Answer 1

have you include the following namespace
use Session;
if not use 'Session' namespace
you can also try another way
public function store(StorePost $request)
{
$validated = $request->validate();
$post = new Posts();
$post->title = $validated['title'];
$post->content = $validated['content'];
$post->save();
return redirect()->route('posts.show', [$post->id])->with('status','Task was successful!');
}
it will create a RedirectResponse instance and flash data to the session in a single, fluent method

Answer 2

A few things to fix your issue and clean things up a tad. The Laravel convention for naming models is to use the singular name of the table. If you have a table named posts, the model's name should be Post. Second, you don't need a temporary variable for the the validated data, just inline it. Finally, you can use with on your redirect to flash your session data:
public function store(StorePost $request)
{
$post = Posts::create([
'title' => $request->validated('title'),
'content' => $request->validated('content')
]);
return redirect()->route('posts.show', $post)
->with('status', 'Task was successful!');
}
