How can I customize messages in Django?

You can customize messages in Django by using the messages framework. You can define your own message levels and customize the message templates.

Can you show me an example of how to create a custom message level?

Sure! You can create a custom message level by subclassing the Message class and adding your own level. Here's a simple example:

from django.contrib.messages import constants as message_constants

class CustomMessage:
    CUSTOM = 100

# Then you can use it like this:
messages.add_message(request, CustomMessage.CUSTOM, 'This is a custom message!')

How do I display these messages in my templates?

To display messages in your templates, you can loop through the messages in your context. Here's an example:

{% for message in messages %}
    <div class="alert alert-{{ message.tags }}">
        {{ message }}
    </div>
{% endfor %}

Can I customize the appearance of these messages?

Yes, you can customize the appearance by adding your own CSS styles to the message classes. Just target the classes you use in your template.
