flash.discard              # discard the entire flash at the end of the current action
flash.discard(:warning)    # discard only the "warning" entry at the end of the current action
# File lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 209

flash.keep(:notice)   # keeps only the "notice" entry, the rest of the flash is discarded

Convenience accessor for flash[:notice].

# File lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 234
def notice
  self[:notice]

Convenience accessor for flash[:notice]=.

# File lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 239
def notice=(message)
  self[:notice] = message
end
now() click to toggle source

Sets a flash that will not be available to the next action, only to the current.

flash.now[:message] = "Hello current action"

This method enables you to use the flash as a central messaging system in your app. When you need to pass an object to the next action, you use the standard flash assign ([]=). When you need to pass an object to the current action, you use now, and your object will vanish when the current action is done.

Entries set via now are accessed the same way as standard entries: flash['my-key'].

Also, brings two convenience accessors:

flash.now.alert = "Beware now!"
# Equivalent to flash.now[:alert] = "Beware now!"

flash.now.notice = "Good luck now!"
# Equivalent to flash.now[:notice] = "Good luck now!"
# File lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 191
def now
  @now ||= FlashNow.new(self)
