Display messages from django.contrib.messages as notifications in the browser.
Install package using pip:
python -m pip install django-messages-displayAdd it to the installed apps:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
"django_messages_display",
...
]Include the package template in templates where notifications are needed. If site-wide notifications apply for the whole site, it is convenient to add it to the base template, if there is one.
{% include 'django_messages_display/django_messages_display.html' %}
Further, for the styling to apply, the CSS should be loaded:
{% load static %}
...
<head>
...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'django_messages_display/django_messages_display.css' %}">
</head>
Notifications have the relevant attributes, so that the screen reader announces each one without interrupting the users' flow. Even though visually the notifications disappear after a certain amount of time, they remain in the document in order to be accessible by the screen reader on demand.
The colors used for the notifications, meet the WCAG (2.1) AA contrast levels.
