Django messages framework with built-in Jinja2 backend -

how can use django messages framework jinja2 , built-in jinja2 backend in django 1.8?

i tried doing before, remembered jinja2 backend doesn't have context processors of django templating language. possible via request session.

i have been using django few months, if answer obvious, please let me know.

to expand bit on answer above, here's step-by-step breakdown.

first, enable custom environment jinja2, as described here

in settings.py, point environment option jinja2 function

 `templates = [         {             "backend": "django_jinja.backend.jinja2",             "app_dirs": true,             "options": {                 "match_extension": ".jinja",                 "environment": "myapp.jinjaconfig.environment",             }         }, ...]` 

now write function add messages environment. create myapp/jinjaconfig.py (or whatever name choose, match added settings.py):

from jinja2 import environment django.contrib import messages  def environment(**options):     env = environment(**options)     env.globals.update({         'get_messages': messages.get_messages,         })     return env 

at point have get_messages available in template. can use this:

{% message in get_messages(request) %} <li{% if message.tags %} class="{{ message.tags }}"{% endif %}>{{ message }}</li> {% endfor %} 

note have pass in request argument there
