Laravel realrashid/sweetalert not working

Question

I am trying to install SweetAlert in my Laravel project so I ran this commands

composer require realrashid/sweet-alert

php artisan sweetalert:publish

And inside my controller I made this

public function handleIcityNewCairoInterest(Request $request)
{
    $first_name = $request->first_name;
    $last_name = $request->last_name;
    $email = $request->email;
    $phone = $request->phone;
    $project = $request->project;
    $unit = $request->unit;
    $budget = $request->budget;
    $installment = $request->installment;

    IcityNewcairoInterest::create([
        'first_name' => $first_name,
        'last_name' => $last_name,
        'email' => $email,
        'phone' => $phone,
        'project' => $project,
        'unit' => $unit,
        'budget' => $budget,
        'installment' => $installment
    ]);
    Alert::success('Success', 'Done!');
    return redirect(route('home'));
}

But when I submit the form it navigates me to the home page without pop up any alerts

Can anyone help me please?

Alert won't work for you because of redirection. You can send data to your redirect route. So, on your return redirect line add with() function and send some data like:

return redirect(route('home'))->with('success', 'Done!');

and after that in your view file of homepage, because you are redirecting to your home. add this:

@if (\Session::has('success'))
   @php alert()->success('Success', \Session::get('success')); @endphp
@endif

Also, you may call alert function in your controller, on your homepage's function, (f.e pretending that your homepage's controller named getHomepage):

use RealRashid\SweetAlert\Facades\Alert;

public function getHomepage()
{
... //The rest of your functions code

   if (\Session::has('success')){
      alert()->success('Success', \Session::get('success'));
   }

... //The rest of your functions code
}

Hope it will help, i didn't test it out
