Django's message framework is awesome, and now its even better with Django Rest Framework!
The django's messages framework is a very easy and quick way to provide one-time messages for the user. When using django rest framework you loose most of the functionality of it. Using this app you can access your messages though a rest api endpoint.
Features

- Automatic cleanup
- DRF endpoint for accessing messages

$ pip install drf-messages
