带消息的Ajax重定向

Question

I'm trying to implement Ajax call in Laravel project. Currently I'm looking for a way to display success/error messages after Ajax successfully execute something & redirect the page. In Laravel controller, usually I can do it like this:

if($patient->wasRecentlyCreated){
    return redirect('/patients')->with('success','New patient data saved');
} else {
    return redirect('/patients')->with('error','Patient already exist');
}

As in the blade view, I have added the message section in the layout page (so that the message will appear on the top of redirected page) :

@if(count($errors)>0)
    @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
        <div class="alert alert-danger">
            {{$error}}
        </div>
    @endforeach
@endif

@if(session('success'))
    <div class="alert alert-success">
        {{session('success')}}
    </div>
@endif
@if(session('error'))
    <div class="alert alert-danger">
        {{session('error')}}
    </div>
@endif

The case with Ajax call, I'm able to pass the redirect target URL from Laravel controller but I don't know how to pass the success/error message to Ajax. Below is the sample of Laravel controller I have made to handle the Ajax:

if($settlement->wasRecentlyCreated){
    return url('/patients');
}

And in Ajax section, I can redirect using window.location :

$.ajax({
    url: "/createsettlement",
    type: 'post',
    data: {
        billing_id      : billing_id,
        prices          : prices,
        _token          : '{{csrf_token()}}'
    },
    success: function (data) {
        console.log(data);
        window.location = data;
    },

Any idea how to pass the success/error messages while Ajax do page redirection?

Answer 1

OK. you can do the redirection and show in the same time.

But considering that ajax is JS you can set a timeout for redirection, i.e.

    $('#error-alert').text('The text you want to display').show();
    setTimeout(() => {
        window.location =  url;
    }, 3000); //this case waits 3 secs to redirect to the page you want

Hope it helps
