64. Flash Message Style Improvements
- We'll rewrite the flash display inside an Each loop.
- The Each loop, when used with flash, allows us to use two temporary variables - we'll call them 'type' and 'msg', since we can name them whatever we want.
- We'll output a div using the Rails content_tag function inside the loop.
- By doing all of this, we have a dynamically generated flash message with dynamically generated CSS classes applied.
- Dynamic is a buzzword used to say the content was computed instead of hard-coded by hand.
####app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
... <% flash.each do |type, msg| %> <%= content_tag :div, msg, class: "alert alert-#{type}" %> <% end %> ...
