Description

On a particular page, I want to have a flash for both success and error messages. However, I cannot figure out how to determine which is which in the view template:

```
request.flash('success', message);
request.flash('error', message);
```

How to access the message in the view: `<%= message %>`

```
if(message.error) {
// Show error state
} else if(message.success) {
// Show success state
}
```

But I'm not seeing any way to do this? Is this possible?

Research direction

The issue mentions request.flash and accessing a message from a view template, but it names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the flash API and its view-facing usage, then verify and document how success and error messages are distinguished in a template.
