When a user creates a ticket my site redirects to the ticket and displays a notice that informs the user it has been created. At the moment it is a standard notice with no styling.
This is the block that redirects - I need to add a class to the notice. How can this be achieved?
redirect_to @ticket, notice: 'Ticket was successfully created.'
In rails 5 you can use 'add_flash_types' method. Just add it to ApplicationController and include the types you want:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
add_flash_types :success, :warning, :danger, :info
on your controller use the appropriate type instead of 'notice':
redirect_to @ticket, success: 'Ticket was successfully created.'
and then you can automate your view:
<% flash.each do |message_type, message| %>
<div class="alert alert-<%= message_type %>">
<%= message %>
</div>
<% end %>
