# User Messages

User messages are a way to inform users about the state of asynchronous operations. One example would be notifying the user of why a share provisioning request failed. These messages can be requested via the /messages API. All user visible messages must be defined in the permitted messages module in order to prevent sharing sensitive information with users.

Example message generation:

    from manila import context
    from manila.message import api as message_api
    from manila.message import message_field

    self.message_api = message_api.API()

    context = context.RequestContext()
    project_id = '6c430ede-9476-4128-8838-8d3929ced223'
    share_id = 'f292cc0c-54a7-4b3b-8174-d2ff82d87008'

    self.message_api.create(
        context,
        message_field.Actions.CREATE,
        project_id,
        resource_type=message_field.Resource.SHARE,
        resource_id=SHARE_id,
        detail=message_field.Detail.NO_VALID_HOST)

Will produce the following:

    GET /v2/6c430ede-9476-4128-8838-8d3929ced223/messages
    {
      "messages": [
        {
         "id": "5429fffa-5c76-4d68-a671-37a8e24f37cf",
         "action_id": "001",
         "detail_id": "002",
         "user_message": "create: No storage could be allocated for this share "
                         "request. Trying again with a different size "
                         "or share type may succeed."",
         "message_level": "ERROR",
         "resource_type": "SHARE",
         "resource_id": "f292cc0c-54a7-4b3b-8174-d2ff82d87008",
         "created_at": 2015-08-27T09:49:58-05:00,
         "expires_at": 2015-09-26T09:49:58-05:00,
         "request_id": "req-936666d2-4c8f-4e41-9ac9-237b43f8b848",
        }
      ]
    }

## The Message API Module

Handles all requests related to user facing messages.

class API(db_driver=None)

  API for handling user messages.

  cleanup_expired_messages(context)
  create(context, action, project_id, resource_type=None, resource_id=None, exception=None, detail=None, level='ERROR')

    Create a message with the specified information.

  delete(context, id)

    Delete message with the specified message id.

  get(context, id)

    Return message with the specified message id.

  get_all(context, search_opts=None, limit=None, offset=None, sort_key=None, sort_dir=None)

    Return messages for the given context.
