Adding a MessageMixin?

[Ajat Prabha]

Hi there,
I often find myself repeating the process to add messages to inform a user about certain things. Yes, I use mixin after a few repeats.
So I had this idea if we can add a MessageMixin in generic CBVs for easy addition of messages to a request in case of views like CreateView, UpdateView, DeleteView, etc?

I'd appreciate thoughts on this. 🙂

Hi, are you referring to this https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/messages/#adding-messages-in-class-based-views but with more mixins ?

Yes, I'm referring to the same.

Currently I'm thinking over the possible use cases where this can be useful other than the need to define the mixin on our own.

If you see a problematic situation, I'd like to hear about it.
