Quick Start
-----------
Step 1: Initialize the extension:
from flask_toastr import Toastr
toastr = Toastr(app)
Step 2: In your `<head>` and bottom of `<body>`sections of your base template add the following code:
```html
<html>
<head>
{{ toastr.include_jquery() }}
{{ toastr.include_toastr_css() }}
{{ toastr.message() }}
</head>
<body>
{{ toastr.include_toastr_js() }}
</body>
</html>
```
This extension also supports the [Flask application factory pattern](http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/latest/patterns/appfactories/) by allowing you to create a Toastr object and then separately initialize it for an app:
toastr = Toastr()
def create_app(config):
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(config)
# initialize toastr on the app within create_app()
toastr.init_app(app)
app = create_app(prod_config)
Note that jQuery is required. If you are already including it on your own then you can remove the `include_jquery()` line. Secure HTTP is used if the request under which these are executed is secure.
The `include_jquery()`, `include_toastr_js()` and `include_toastr_css()` methods take some optional arguments. If you pass a `version` argument to any of these calls, then the requested version will be loaded from the default CDN. In addition, it is also possible to pass `js_filename` and `css_filename` to `include_toastr_js()` and `include_toastr_css()`, respectively.
Step 3: Use the `flash()` method with or without category in your views. For example:
```python
@app.route('/')
def index():
flash("All OK")
flash("All OK", 'success')
flash("All Normal", 'info')
flash("Not So OK", 'error')
flash("So So", 'warning')
return render_template('index.html')
```
Or you could also use `flash()` method with custom titles:
```python
@app.route('/')
def index():
flash("Message", 'Custom Title')
flash({'title': "Custom Title", 'message': "Error Message"}, 'error')
return render_template('index.html')
```
Step 4: Enjoy
