is it possible to add category or type to private message

@gdlcf88 I can make a pull request if that is ok to add category to private message

I don't think so. It's not an email system, why we complicate it?

Currently when creator is null, it is seen as a system message. By adding a category, i felt this module can be much more useful, eg. system message, update message, refund message, follow message, topup messages etc. In most apps we need to filter these messages to better present them to the users. Only a system message might not be able to fullfill the demand. @gdlcf88

OK, go ahead. BTW, can you do a seamless upgrade so that applications without this requirement do not need to learn the changes?

I have considered using a extraproperty or make category null by default. I think it might be simpler and clear to just make it null by default, so current user dont need to make changes to current code, but anyway they do need a ef migration as category will be a property in private message entity.
