✅ Automatic Exception Reporting

This package automatically hooks into Laravel’s exception handling:

• Only for non-API web requests
• Catches exceptions and reports to Mattermost
• Optionally redirects back with flash alert

🧾 Blade Alert Message (Optional UI)

To show the alert message on your front-end after exception handling, add this snippet to your main layout file:

@if (session()->has('alert'))
    <div class="alert alert m-2 bg bg-{{ session()->get('alert')['type'] }} p-4 text-white rounded alert-dismissible" role="alert">
        <h4 class="alert-heading d-flex align-items-center">
            <span class="alert-icon rounded-circle"
                  style="border: 2px solid white; padding: 8px; display: inline-flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;">
                @if (session()->get('alert')['type'] === 'success')
                    <i class="bx bx-coffee"></i>
                @elseif(session()->get('alert')['type'] === 'danger')
                    <i class="bx bx-error"></i>
                @else
                    <i class="bx bx-show"></i>
                @endif
            </span>
            &nbsp;
            {{ session()->get('alert')['title'] }}
        </h4>
        <hr>
        <p class="mb-0">{{ session()->get('alert')['message'] }}</p>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>
    </div>
@endif

🧪 Testing

Throw an exception anywhere in your Laravel web route or controller to test. If everything is configured properly, the error will show up in your Mattermost channel.
