end
discard(k = nil)

Marks the entire flash or a single flash entry to be discarded by the end of the current action:

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 actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 174

  end
  super
end
keep(k = nil)

Keeps either the entire current flash or a specific flash entry available for the next action:

flash.keep            # keeps the entire flash
flash.keep(:notice)   # keeps only the "notice" entry, the rest of the flash is discarded
# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 166

  use(k, false)

  @flashes.key? name
end

notice()

Convenience accessor for flash

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 206
def notice
  self[:notice]
end
notice=(message)

Convenience accessor for flash=

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 211
def notice=(message)
  self[:notice] = message
end
now()

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'].

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 154
def now
  @now ||= FlashNow.new(self)
end

now_is_loaded?()

def now_is_loaded?
  !!@now
end
use(key = nil, used = true)

Used internally by the keep and discard methods

use()               # marks the entire flash as used
use('msg')          # marks the "msg" entry as used
use(nil, false)     # marks the entire flash as unused (keeps it around for one more action)
use('msg', false)   # marks the "msg" entry as unused (keeps it around for one more action)

Returns the single value for the key you asked to be marked (un)used or the FlashHash itself if no key is passed.

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/flash.rb, line 228
def use(key = nil, used = true)
  Array(key || keys).each { |k| used ? @used << k : @used.delete(k) }
  return key ? self[key] : self
end
