Hello!  
Do you use toastr in your projects? Could someone please share their experience?

Do you mean [GitHub - CodeSeven/toastr: Simple javascript toast notifications](https://github.com/CodeSeven/toastr) ?

Exactly. I would like to apply this alongside flashMessenger - return some messages using only flash, and some using **flash and toastr**. For Laravel, there are many examples of how to do it nice and easy - but for Laminas, I couldn’t find anything…

You mean calling `toastr()->info('Hello World')` in controller is nice? And what if the frontend changes tomorrow? Do you want to rewrite everything because a different library is used, like [Bootstrap with Toasts](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/toasts/) or the next hype on the framework market? 😉

I think you can use [custom namespace for setting the message](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-mvc-plugin-flashmessenger/blob/91bc10e43cf3afcfe4ffbcc7aa0382af51430e75/src/FlashMessenger.php#L156) for different output on the plugin. Then the output of these messages must be customised. This can be done by overwriting the related view helper.

@froschdesign Thanks for the tips and for your patience. I wanted to provoke some other people into discussion with the mention of Laravel 😂

I generally used flashMessenger with the namespace variable:

```
$this->flashMessenger()->setNamespace('toast_error')->addMessage('article_create_error');

```

or

```
$this->flashMessenger()->setNamespace('toast_success')->addMessage('article_create_success');

```

And in my helper I display the appropriate message depending on the toast type.

```
if($this->flashMessenger()->hasMessages('toast_success')):

```

I hope this is a good solution.

Don’t worry, the problem can also be found in other systems. 😉

> [@Kriss\_Kals](#):

> ```auto
> $this->flashMessenger()->setNamespace('toast_error')->addMessage('article_create_error');
> 
> ```

Or:

```php
$this->flashMessenger()->addMessage('article_create_error', 'toast_error');

```
