The Alert component displays a short, important message in a way that attracts the user's attention. Alerts offer four severity levels that set a distinctive icon and color:

  • Info: used to convey general information or actions that aren't critical, note that info variant should not contain any icons in it
  • Warning: used to display information that needs attention
  • Success: used for success messages
  • Danger: used to communicate problems that have to be resolved immediately

This component utilizes and extends the Alert component from react-bootstrap.
See React-Bootstrap for additional documentation.

Basic Usage

Any Paragon component or export may be added to the code example.

With Action Buttons

The Alert component supports a dismissible button and a custom call-to-action button, via the dismissible and button props respectively. The buttons may be right aligned or stacked. On extra small screen widths, the buttons will be stacked.

The stacked variant should be used for:

  • Placement in sidebars or small container
  • Extra-small breakpoint and below

Any Paragon component or export may be added to the code example.
