-And, for convenience, add a facade alias to this same file at the bottom:
-
-```php
-'aliases' => [
-    'Flash' => Laracasts\Flash\Flash::class,
-];

 ## Usage
 
 Within your controllers, before you perform a redirect...
 
 ```php
 public function store()
 {
-    Flash::message('Welcome Aboard!');
+    flash('Welcome Aboard!');
 
-    return Redirect::home();
+    return home();
 }
 ```
 
 You may also do:
 
-- `Flash::info('Message')`
-- `Flash::success('Message')`
-- `Flash::error('Message')`
-- `Flash::warning('Message')`
-- `Flash::overlay('Modal Message', 'Modal Title')`

+Behind the scenes, this will set a few keys in the session:
 
 - 'flash_notification.message' - The message you're flashing
 - 'flash_notification.level' - A string that represents the type of notification (good for applying HTML class names)
 
-Alternatively, again, if you're using Laravel, you may reference the `flash()` helper function, instead of the facade. Here's an example:
-
-```php
-/**
- * Destroy the user's session (logout).
- *
- * @return Response
- */
-public function destroy()
-{
-    Auth::logout();
-
-    flash()->success('You have been logged out.');
-
-    return home();
-}
-```
-
-Or, for a general information flash, just do: `flash('Some message');`.
-
 With this message flashed to the session, you may now display it in your view(s). Maybe something like:
 
 ```html
-@if (Session::has('flash_notification.message'))
-    <div class="alert alert-{{ Session::get('flash_notification.level') }}">
+@if (session()->has('flash_notification.message'))
+    <div class="alert alert-{{ session('flash_notification.level') }}">
         <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
 
-        {{ Session::get('flash_notification.message') }}
+        {{ session('flash_notification.message') }}
     </div>

+## Hiding Flash Messages
+
+A common desire is to display a flash message for a few seconds, and then hide it. To handle this, write a simple bit of JavaScript. For example, using jQuery, you might add the following snippet just before the closing `</body>` tag.
+
+```
+<script>
+$('div.alert').not('.alert-important').delay(3000).fadeOut(350);
+</script>
+```
+
+This will find any alerts - excluding the important ones, which should remain until manually closed by the user - wait three seconds, and then fade them out.
