Alerts

Provide contextual feedback messages for typical user actions with the handful of available and flexible alert messages.

Examples

Alerts are available for any length of text, as well as an optional dismiss button. For proper styling, use one of the eight variants.

This is a primary alert—check it out!

This is a secondary alert—check it out!

This is a success alert—check it out!

This is a danger alert—check it out!

This is a warning alert—check it out!

This is a info alert—check it out!

This is a light alert—check it out!

This is a dark alert—check it out!

[
  'primary',
  'secondary',
  'success',
  'danger',
  'warning',
  'info',
  'light',
  'dark',
].map((variant, idx) => (
  <Alert key={idx} variant={variant}>
    This is a {variant} alert—check it out!
  </Alert>
));

[
  'primary',
  'secondary',
  'success',
  'danger',
  'warning',
  'info',
  'light',
  'dark',
].map((variant, idx) => (
  <Alert key={idx} variant={variant}>
    This is a {variant} alert—check it out!
  </Alert>
));

This is a primary alert with an example link. Give it a click if you like.

This is a secondary alert with an example link. Give it a click if you like.

This is a success alert with an example link. Give it a click if you like.

This is a danger alert with an example link. Give it a click if you like.

This is a info alert with an example link. Give it a click if you like.

This is a light alert with an example link. Give it a click if you like.

This is a dark alert with an example link. Give it a click if you like.

[
  'primary',
  'secondary',
  'success',
  'danger',
  'warning',
  'info',
  'light',
  'dark',
].map((variant, idx) => (
  <Alert key={idx} variant={variant}>
    This is a {variant} alert with{' '}
    <Alert.Link href="#">an example link</Alert.Link>. Give it a click if you
    like.
  </Alert>
));

[
  'primary',
  'secondary',
  'success',
  'danger',
  'warning',
  'info',
  'light',
  'dark',
].map((variant, idx) => (
  <Alert key={idx} variant={variant}>
    This is a {variant} alert with{' '}
    <Alert.Link href="#">an example link</Alert.Link>. Give it a click if you
    like.
  </Alert>
));

Additional content

Alerts can contain whatever content you like. Headers, paragraphs, dividers, go crazy.

Hey, nice to see you

Aww yeah, you successfully read this important alert message. This example text is going to run a bit longer so that you can see how spacing within an alert works with this kind of content.

Whenever you need to, be sure to use margin utilities to keep things nice and tidy.

<Alert variant="success">
  <Alert.Heading>Hey, nice to see you</Alert.Heading>
  <p>

Dismissing

Add the dismissible prop to add a functioning dismiss button to the Alert.

Oh snap! You got an error!

Change this and that and try again. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum.

function AlertDismissibleExample() {
  const [show, setShow] = useState(true);

  if (show) {
    return (
      <Alert variant="danger" onClose={() => setShow(false)} dismissible>
        <Alert.Heading>Oh snap! You got an error!</Alert.Heading>
        <p>
          Change this and that and try again. Duis mollis, est non commodo
          luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
          Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum.
        </p>
      </Alert>
    );
  }
  return <Button onClick={() => setShow(true)}>Show Alert</Button>;
}

render(<AlertDismissibleExample />);

function AlertDismissibleExample() {
  const [show, setShow] = useState(true);
  if (show) {
    return (
      <Alert variant="danger" onClose={() => setShow(false)} dismissible>
        <Alert.Heading>Oh snap! You got an error!</Alert.Heading>
        <p>
          Change this and that and try again. Duis mollis, est non commodo
          luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
          Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum.
        </p>
      </Alert>
    );
  }
  return <Button onClick={() => setShow(true)}>Show Alert</Button>;
}
render(<AlertDismissibleExample />);

You can also control the visual state directly which is great if you want to build more complicated alerts.

How's it going?!

Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum.

function AlertDismissible() {
  const [show, setShow] = useState(true);

  return (
    <>
      <Alert show={show} variant="success">
        <Alert.Heading>How's it going?!</Alert.Heading>
        <p>
          Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget
          lacinia odio sem nec elit. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet
          fermentum.
        </p>
        <hr />
        <div className="d-flex justify-content-end">
          <Button onClick={() => setShow(false)} variant="outline-success">
            Close me ya'll!
          </Button>
        </div>
      </Alert>

      {!show && <Button onClick={() => setShow(true)}>Show Alert</Button>}
    </>
  );
}

render(<AlertDismissible />);

function AlertDismissible() {
  const [show, setShow] = useState(true);
  return (
    <>
      <Alert show={show} variant="success">
        <Alert.Heading>How's it going?!</Alert.Heading>
        <p>
          Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget
          lacinia odio sem nec elit. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet
          fermentum.
        </p>
        <hr />
        <div className="d-flex justify-content-end">
          <Button onClick={() => setShow(false)} variant="outline-success">
            Close me ya'll!
          </Button>
        </div>
      </Alert>
      {!show && <Button onClick={() => setShow(true)}>Show Alert</Button>}
    </>
  );

render(<AlertDismissible />);
