Laravel delete with confirm - php

Question

I try to delete with confirm like, using a controller method delete:
function delete($id) {
$list = Todolist::find($id);
return view('lists.delete')->with('list',$list);
}
and corresponding delete.blade.php:
{!! Form::open(array('route' => array('lists.destroy', $list->id), 'method' => 'delete', 'class' => 'form')) !!}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-sucess">Delete</button>
<button type="submit" onClick="history.back()">Cancel</button>
{!! Form::close() !!}
then also a controller destroy-method
function destroy($id) {
$list = new Todolist;
//$list->delete($id);
echo
return view('lists.confirmdelete')\Redirect::route('lists.index')
->with('message', 'Task deleted!');
////how to aply 5 second sleep for showing message 'Task deleted!'???
}
and confirmdelete.blade.php
<h1>{{ $list->name }}</h1>
<p>{{ $list->description }}</p>
<p><b>{{ $message }}</b></p>
How to do, that it display "Task deleted!" messsage e.g 5 seconds and then two steps back to an index action?

Answer 1

In your destroy method you have to do a little tweek & also have to use a little bit of js
Change destroy method this to
function destroy($id) {
$list = new Todolist;
$data = [
'name' => $list->name,
'description' => $list->description,
];
$list->delete($id);
$data['message'] = 'Task deleted!';
$data['redirectRoute'] = route('lists.index');
return view('lists.confirmdelete', $data);
}
and in confirmdelete.blade.php
<h1>{{ $name }}</h1>
<p>{{ $description }}</p>
<p><b>{{ $message }}</b></p>
<script>setTimeout(function(){ window.location.href = '{{ $redirectRoute }}' }, 5000);</script>

Answer 2

Easier with:
<button class="btn btn-link"
onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete the record {{ $user->id }} ?')">
DELETE
</button>
In this case, you open a popup with a confirmation if you want to delete a record before clicking. Obiously you need to put
$user = User::find($id);
in the delete method if you want an id in the message.

Answer 3

session variable best for given problem
try in controller method
function destroy($id) {
//AFTER SUCCESS YOUR LOGIC
Session::flash('message', 'Status Changed');
Session::flash('alert-class', 'alert-success');
return redirect('/index');
}
in blade file you can check like this demo
#if(Session::has('message'))
<div class="alert {{ Session::get('alert-class') }} fade-in" id="alert">
×
{{ Session::get('message') }}
</div>
#endif
Session flash is best to use here it will poof once it print. and you can use JS for after 5 second fadeout.
<script>
$("#alert").fadeTo(2000, 500).slideUp(500, function(){
$("#alert").slideUp(500);
});
</script>
