JS and HTML to support the Django contrib.messages app
Project description
jQuery messages-UI plugin package for Django
django-messages-ui adds JS and HTML to support the Django contrib.messages app. It should be called on the message list element, and accepts options for message selectors, transient messages (that disappear on click or key-press), and close-links.
Messages can be dynamically added via ICanHaz.js, and there’s a Python middleware to automatically add messages from the request into Ajax JSON responses.
Dependencies
jQuery library
jQuery doTimeout plugin
(optionally) ICanHaz.js
(optionally) django-icanhaz 0.2.0+
Installation
In your Django project settings, add “messages_ui” to your INSTALLED_APPS.
Usage
Linking the JS:
<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}messages_ui/jquery.messages-ui.js"></script>
Including the default HTML Template:
{% include "messages_ui/_messages.html" %}
Calling the plugin:
$('#messages').messages();
Calling the plugin with a variety of options explicitly configured to their default values:
$('#messages').messages({
message: '.message', // Selector for individual messages
closeLink: '.close', // Selector for link to close message
// ...set to ``false`` to disable
transientMessage: '.success', // Selector for transient messages
transientDelay: 500, // Transient message fade delay (ms)
transientFadeSpeed: 3000, // Transient message fade speed (ms)
handleAjax: false // Enable automatic AJAX handling
});
Note: After the plugin is called once, subsequent calls on the same element will default to the options passed the first time, unless new options are explicitly provided.
Adding a message in JS (requires ICanHaz.js):
$(ich.message({message: "Sample Message", tags: "info"})).appendTo($('#messages'));
To override the default JS template, add a message.html file to a directory listed in your ICANHAZ_DIRS setting (a django-icanhaz setting).
Ajax
To enable automatic handling of messages from Ajax requests, add "messages_ui.middleware.AjaxMessagesMiddleware" to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting (directly after django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware), and pass handleAjax: true to the plugin initialization.
