Days 045-048 Build a simple Django app [v20/22] missing messages

[chriskessler]

Hi There,
I noticed once switching to class-based views from function-based, we lost the messages for successful new|update|delete in the video and it wasn't addressed. Any chance that could be touched on? Or maybe I missed something?

Thanks!
Chris

Good catch, I did not realize that, thanks!

It's hard to update the videos right now, but you can try to use the SuccessMessageMixin using this example:

I abandoned cbvs since ;) - I find function based views way more straightforward. See this reference:
