# ctx.message

Ant Design global message API; shows short messages at the top center. Messages auto-close after a while or can be closed by the user.

## Use Cases

| Scenario | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| **JSBlock / JSField / JSItem / JSColumn** | Quick feedback: validation, copy success, etc. |
| **Form actions / event flow** | Submit success, save failed, validation failed |
| **JSAction** | Click or batch action feedback |

## Examples

## ctx.message vs ctx.notification

| | ctx.message | ctx.notification |
|---|-------------|-------------------|
| **Position** | Top center | Top right |
| **Use** | Short, auto-dismiss | Panel with title/description; can stay longer |
| **Typical** | Action feedback, validation, copy | Task done, system notice, longer content |
