How to add a message to the API response?

The messages can be added to the API response using hooks or in custom commands handler. Both the hooks and custom command provide a response object that has a method called addMessage. It takes 3 arguments which are message name, level and the parameters.

addMessage(msgname,level,[params]){

}

1. msgname: The message added to the admin panel.
2. level: There are 3 levels that are supported as of now which are error, warning and success. This changes how the message would be shown to the user.
3. params (Optional): If you want to send some custom data with the message, then you can send in this.

Example

function(req,res,next){
   if(!req.data.test){
      res.addMessage("mycustommessage","error");
   }
   next();
}​
