#20610 closed New feature (fixed)

Add a message level dict to `contrib.messages.context_processors.messages`

Description

It'd be nice if the provided context processor also added a dictionary of message levels to the context.

This would allow something like this:

{% for message in messages %}
    {% if message.level == MESSAGE_LEVELS.SUCCESS %}...{% endif %}
    ...
{% endfor %}

Currently, one has to pass the message levels manually into the context, or do something like this, which is brittle:

{% if 'success' i nmessage.tags %}...{% endif %}

There should not be any backwards-compatibility issue and the change is rather minimal.
I've attached a proof-of-concept patch. If there's interest, I'd be willing to polish it up (mostly adding tests and documentation).

Technically, it's backwards incompatible for people who have "MESSAGE_LEVELS" in their context. That's minor, but it should be mentioned in the release notes.
