Status

Change the status of the alerts by passing the status prop. This affects the color scheme and icon used. Alert supports error, success, warning, and info statuses.

Composition

Alert ships with smaller components to allow for flexibility in creating all kinds of layouts. Here's an example of a custom alert style and layout:

<Alert status='success' variant='subtle' flexDirection='column' alignItems='center' justifyContent='center' textAlign='center' height='200px' > <AlertIcon boxSize='40px' mr={0} /> <AlertTitle mt={4} mb={1} fontSize='lg'> Application submitted! </AlertTitle> <AlertDescription maxWidth='sm'> Thanks for submitting your application. Our team will get back to you soon. </AlertDescription> </Alert>

<Alert
  status='success'
  variant='subtle'
  flexDirection='column'
  alignItems='center'
  justifyContent='center'
  textAlign='center'
  height='200px'
>
  <AlertIcon boxSize='40px' mr={0} />
  <AlertTitle mt={4} mb={1} fontSize='lg'>
    Application submitted!
  </AlertTitle>
  <AlertDescription maxWidth='sm'>
    Thanks for submitting your application. Our team will get back to you soon.
  </AlertDescription>
</Alert>

Alert can also incorporate other Chakra components. Here's an example of an alert with wrapping description text and the CloseButton component with simple close functionality:

function CompExample() { const { isOpen: isVisible, onClose, onOpen, } = useDisclosure({ defaultIsOpen: true }); return isVisible ? ( <Alert status='success'> <AlertIcon /> <Box> <AlertTitle>Success!</AlertTitle> <AlertDescription> Your application has been received. We will review your application and respond within the next 48 hours. </AlertDescription> </Box> <CloseButton alignSelf='flex-start' position='relative' right={-1} top={-1} onClick={onClose} /> </Alert> ) : ( <Button onClick={onOpen}>Show Alert</Button> ); }

function CompExample() {
  const {
    isOpen: isVisible,
    onClose,
    onOpen,
  } = useDisclosure({ defaultIsOpen: true });

  return isVisible ? (
    <Alert status='success'>
      <AlertIcon />
      <Box>
        <AlertTitle>Success!</AlertTitle>
        <AlertDescription>
          Your application has been received. We will review your application
          and respond within the next 48 hours.
        </AlertDescription>
      </Box>
      <CloseButton
        alignSelf='flex-start'
        position='relative'
        right={-1}
        top={-1}
        onClick={onClose}
      />
    </Alert>
  ) : (
    <Button onClick={onOpen}>Show Alert</Button>
  );
}
