Alert

Style

An alert contains title text with an icon, body text, and a close button. They may also include action buttons below the text or inline links. There are two variants, toast and inline, which serve different purposes.

Anatomy

1. Severity indicator
2. Severity icon
3. Title
4. Body
5. Actions
6. Close button

Inline

The required elements of an Inline alert are a thin top bar or thin border, icon, title, close button, and a container background. Supporting text and buttons may or may not be included below the title to add clarity or optional actions.

Inline, alternate

The alternate Inline alert style includes a border instead of a line which can be used to express more urgency or better grab the attention of a user.

Toast

The required elements of a Toast alert are a thin top bar, icon, title, close button, and a white container with a subtle drop shadow. Supporting text and buttons may or may not be included below the title to add clarity or optional actions.

Interaction States

Interaction states are visual representations used to communicate the status of a component or element. The close button and any linked content are the only interactive elements in both alert variants.

Spacing

Both Alert variants use spacing tokens to define the amount of space between elements.
