Fixed #4604 - Configurable message passing system, supporting anonymous users

This deprecates User.message_set in favour of a configurable messaging
system, with backends provided for cookie storage, session storage and
backward compatibility.

Many thanks to Tobias McNulty for the bulk of the work here, with
contributions from Chris Beaven (SmileyChris) and lots of code review from
Russell Keith-Magee, and input from many others.  Also credit to the authors
of various messaging systems for Django whose ideas may have been pinched
:-)

======================
The messages framework
======================
.. module:: django.contrib.messages
:synopsis: Provides cookie- and session-based temporary message storage.
Django provides full support for cookie- and session-based messaging, for
both anonymous and authenticated clients. The messages framework allows you
to temporarily store messages in one request and retrieve them for display
in a subsequent request (usually the next one). Every message is tagged
with a specific ``level`` that determines its priority (e.g., ``info``,
``warning``, or ``error``).
.. versionadded:: 1.2
The messages framework was added.
Enabling messages
=================
Messages are implemented through a :ref:`middleware <ref-middleware>`
class and corresponding :ref:`context processor <ref-templates-api>`.
To enable message functionality, do the following:
* Edit the :setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` setting and make sure
it contains ``'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware'``.
If you are using a :ref:`storage backend <message-storage-backends>` that
relies on :ref:`sessions <topics-http-sessions>` (the default),
``'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'`` must be
enabled and appear before ``MessageMiddleware`` in your
:setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`.
* Edit the :setting:`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` setting and make sure
it contains ``'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages'``.
* Add ``'django.contrib.messages'`` to your :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`
setting
The default ``settings.py`` created by ``django-admin.py startproject`` has
``MessageMiddleware`` activated and the ``django.contrib.messages`` app
installed. Also, the default value for :setting:`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS`
contains ``'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages'``.
If you don't want to use messages, you can remove the
``MessageMiddleware`` line from :setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`, the ``messages``
context processor from :setting:`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` and
``'django.contrib.messages'`` from your :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`.
Configuring the message engine
==============================
.. _message-storage-backends:
Storage backends
----------------
The messages framework can use different backends to store temporary messages.
To change which backend is being used, add a `MESSAGE_STORAGE`_ to your
settings, referencing the module and class of the storage class. For
example::
MESSAGE_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.messages.storage.cookie.CookieStorage'
The value should be the full path of the desired storage class.
Four storage classes are included:
``'django.contrib.messages.storage.session.SessionStorage'``
This class stores all messages inside of the request's session. It
requires Django's ``contrib.session`` application.
``'django.contrib.messages.storage.cookie.CookieStorage'``
This class stores the message data in a cookie (signed with a secret hash
to prevent manipulation) to persist notifications across requests. Old
messages are dropped if the cookie data size would exceed 4096 bytes.
``'django.contrib.messages.storage.fallback.FallbackStorage'``
This class first uses CookieStorage for all messages, falling back to using
SessionStorage for the messages that could not fit in a single cookie.
Since it is uses SessionStorage, it also requires Django's
``contrib.session`` application.
``'django.contrib.messages.storage.user_messages.LegacyFallbackStorage'``
This is the default temporary storage class.
This class extends FallbackStorage and adds compatibility methods to
to retrieve any messages stored in the user Message model by code that
has not yet been updated to use the new API. This storage is temporary
(because it makes use of code that is pending deprecation) and will be
removed in Django 1.4. At that time, the default storage will become
``django.contrib.messages.storage.fallback.FallbackStorage``. For more
information, see `LegacyFallbackStorage`_ below.
To write your own storage class, subclass the ``BaseStorage`` class in
``django.contrib.messages.storage.base`` and implement the ``_get`` and
``_store`` methods.
LegacyFallbackStorage
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``LegacyFallbackStorage`` is a temporary tool to facilitate the transition
from the deprecated ``user.message_set`` API and will be removed in Django 1.4
according to Django's standard deprecation policy. For more information, see
the full :ref:`release process documentation <internals-release-process>`.
In addition to the functionality in the ``FallbackStorage``, it adds a custom,
read-only storage class that retrieves messages from the user ``Message``
model. Any messages that were stored in the ``Message`` model (e.g., by code
that has not yet been updated to use the messages framework) will be retrieved
first, followed by those stored in a cookie and in the session, if any. Since
messages stored in the ``Message`` model do not have a concept of levels, they
will be assigned the ``INFO`` level by default.
Message levels
--------------
The messages framework is based on a configurable level architecture similar
to that of the Python logging module. Message levels allow you to group
messages by type so they can be filtered or displayed differently in views and
templates.
The built-in levels (which can be imported from ``django.contrib.messages``
directly) are:
=========== ========
Constant Purpose
=========== ========
``DEBUG`` Development-related messages that will be ignored (or removed) in a production deployment
``INFO`` Informational messages for the user
``SUCCESS`` An action was successful, e.g. "Your profile was updated successfully"
``WARNING`` A failure did not occur but may be imminent
``ERROR`` An action was **not** successful or some other failure occurred
=========== ========
The `MESSAGE_LEVEL`_ setting can be used to change the minimum recorded
level. Attempts to add messages of a level less than this will be ignored.
Message tags
------------
Message tags are a string representation of the message level plus any
extra tags that were added directly in the view (see
`Adding extra message tags`_ below for more details). Tags are stored in a
string and are separated by spaces. Typically, message tags
are used as CSS classes to customize message style based on message type. By
default, each level has a single tag that's a lowercase version of its own
constant:
============== ===========
Level Constant Tag
============== ===========
``DEBUG`` ``debug``
``INFO`` ``info``
``SUCCESS`` ``success``
``WARNING`` ``warning``
``ERROR`` ``error``
============== ===========
To change the default tags for a message level (either built-in or custom),
set the `MESSAGE_TAGS`_ setting to a dictionary containing the levels
you wish to change. As this extends the default tags, you only need to provide
tags for the levels you wish to override::
from django.contrib.messages import constants as messages
MESSAGE_TAGS = {
messages.INFO: '',
50: 'critical',
}
Using messages in views and templates
=====================================
Adding a message
----------------
To add a message, call::
from django.contrib import messages
messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO, 'Hello world.')
Some shortcut methods provide a standard way to add messages with commonly
used tags (which are usually represented as HTML classes for the message)::
messages.debug(request, '%s SQL statements were executed.' % count)
messages.info(request, 'Three credits remain in your account.')
messages.success(request, 'Profile details updated.')
messages.warning(request, 'Your account expires in three days.')
messages.error(request, 'Document deleted.')
Displaying messages
-------------------
In your template, use something like::
{% if messages %}
<ul class="messages">
{% for message in messages %}
<li{% if message.tags %} class="{{ message.tags }}"{% endif %}>{{ message }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
If you're using the context processor, your template should be rendered with a
``RequestContext``. Otherwise, ensure ``messages`` is available to
the template context.
Creating custom message levels
------------------------------
Messages levels are nothing more than integers, so you can define your own
level constants and use them to create more customized user feedback, e.g.::
CRITICAL = 50
def my_view(request):
messages.add_message(request, CRITICAL, 'A serious error occurred.')
When creating custom message levels you should be careful to avoid overloading
existing levels. The values for the built-in levels are:
.. _message-level-constants:
============== =====
Level Constant Value
============== =====
``DEBUG`` 10
``INFO`` 20
``SUCCESS`` 25
``WARNING`` 30
``ERROR`` 40
============== =====
If you need to identify the custom levels in your HTML or CSS, you need to
provide a mapping via the `MESSAGE_TAGS`_ setting.
.. note::
If you are creating a reusable application, it is recommended to use
only the built-in `message levels`_ and not rely on any custom levels.
Changing the minimum recorded level per-request
-----------------------------------------------
The minimum recorded level can be set per request by changing the ``level``
attribute of the messages storage instance::
from django.contrib import messages
# Change the messages level to ensure the debug message is added.
messages.get_messages(request).level = messages.DEBUG
messages.debug(request, 'Test message...')
# In another request, record only messages with a level of WARNING and higher
messages.get_messages(request).level = messages.WARNING
messages.success(request, 'Your profile was updated.') # ignored
messages.warning(request, 'Your account is about to expire.') # recorded
# Set the messages level back to default.
messages.get_messages(request).level = None
For more information on how the minimum recorded level functions, see
`Message levels`_ above.
Adding extra message tags
-------------------------
For more direct control over message tags, you can optionally provide a string
containing extra tags to any of the add methods::
messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO, 'Over 9000!',
extra_tags='dragonball')
messages.error(request, 'Email box full', extra_tags='email')
Extra tags are added before the default tag for that level and are space
separated.
Failing silently when the message framework is disabled
-------------------------------------------------------
If you're writing a reusable app (or other piece of code) and want to include
messaging functionality, but don't want to require your users to enable it
if they don't want to, you may pass an additional keyword argument
``fail_silently=True`` to any of the ``add_message`` family of methods. For
example::
messages.add_message(request, messages.SUCCESS, 'Profile details updated.',
fail_silently=True)
messages.info(request, 'Hello world.', fail_silently=True)
Internally, Django uses this functionality in the create, update, and delete
:ref:`generic views <topics-generic-views>` so that they work even if the
message framework is disabled.
.. note::
Setting ``fail_silently=True`` only hides the ``MessageFailure`` that would
otherwise occur when the messages framework disabled and one attempts to
use one of the ``add_message`` family of methods. It does not hide failures
that may occur for other reasons.
Expiration of messages
======================
The messages are marked to be cleared when the storage instance is iterated
(and cleared when the response is processed).
To avoid the messages being cleared, you can set the messages storage to
``False`` after iterating::
storage = messages.get_messages(request)
for message in storage:
do_something_with(message)
storage.used = False
Behavior of parallel requests
=============================
Due to the way cookies (and hence sessions) work, **the behavior of any
backends that make use of cookies or sessions is undefined when the same
client makes multiple requests that set or get messages in parallel**. For
example, if a client initiates a request that creates a message in one window
(or tab) and then another that fetches any uniterated messages in another
window, before the first window redirects, the message may appear in the
second window instead of the first window where it may be expected.
In short, when multiple simultaneous requests from the same client are
involved, messages are not guaranteed to be delivered to the same window that
created them nor, in some cases, at all. Note that this is typically not a
problem in most applications and will become a non-issue in HTML5, where each
window/tab will have its own browsing context.
Settings
========
A few :ref:`Django settings <ref-settings>` give you control over message
behavior:
MESSAGE_LEVEL
-------------
Default: ``messages.INFO``
This sets the minimum message that will be saved in the message storage. See
`Message levels`_ above for more details.
.. admonition:: Important
If you override ``MESSAGE_LEVEL`` in your settings file and rely on any of
the built-in constants, you must import the constants module directly to
avoid the potential for circular imports, e.g.::
from django.contrib.messages import constants as message_constants
MESSAGE_LEVEL = message_constants.DEBUG
If desired, you may specify the numeric values for the constants directly
according to the values in the above :ref:`constants table
<message-level-constants>`.
MESSAGE_STORAGE
---------------
Default: ``'django.contrib.messages.storage.user_messages.LegacyFallbackStorage'``
Controls where Django stores message data. Valid values are:
* ``'django.contrib.messages.storage.fallback.FallbackStorage'``
* ``'django.contrib.messages.storage.session.SessionStorage'``
* ``'django.contrib.messages.storage.cookie.CookieStorage'``
* ``'django.contrib.messages.storage.user_messages.LegacyFallbackStorage'``
See `Storage backends`_ for more details.
MESSAGE_TAGS
------------
Default::
{messages.DEBUG: 'debug',
messages.INFO: 'info',
messages.SUCCESS: 'success',
messages.WARNING: 'warning',
messages.ERROR: 'error',}
This sets the mapping of message level to message tag, which is typically
rendered as a CSS class in HTML. If you specify a value, it will extend
the default. This means you only have to specify those values which you need
to override. See `Displaying messages`_ above for more details.
.. admonition:: Important
If you override ``MESSAGE_TAGS`` in your settings file and rely on any of
the built-in constants, you must import the ``constants`` module directly to
avoid the potential for circular imports, e.g.::
from django.contrib.messages import constants as message_constants
MESSAGE_TAGS = {message_constants.INFO: ''}
If desired, you may specify the numeric values for the constants directly
according to the values in the above :ref:`constants table
<message-level-constants>`.
