Simple helper macro for a common Laravel controller pattern (redirecting back with status message)

redirect_message_macro.php

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        // This is the equivelant of:
        // "return redirect()->back()->with('message', $message);"
        
        \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse::macro('message', function ($message) {
            return $this->with('message', $message);
        });
        
        // This is the equivelant of:
        // "return redirect()->back()->with('message', trans($localizationKey));"
        
        \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse::macro('trans', function ($localizationKey) {
            return $this->with('message', trans($localizationKey));
        });
    }
}
