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 close button.
.alert-{name}
for various alert options. <div class="alert alert-primary" role="alert"> A simple primary alert—check it out!</div>
Live example
Click the button below to show an alert (hidden with inline styles to start), then dismiss (and destroy) it with the built-in close button.
Link color
Use the .alert-link
utility class to quickly provide matching colored links within any alert.
<div class="alert alert-primary" role="alert"> A simple primary alert with <a href="#" class="alert-link">an example link</a>. Give it a click if you like.</div>
Additional content
Alerts can also contain additional HTML elements like headings, paragraphs and dividers.
Well done!
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.
<div class="alert alert-success p-4" role="alert"> <h4 class="alert-heading">Well done!</h4> <p>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.</p> <hr> <p class="mb-0">Whenever you need to, be sure to use margin utilities to keep things nice and tidy.</p></div>
Icons
Similarly, you can use flexbox utilities to create alerts with icons. Depending on your icons and content, you may want to add more utilities or custom styles.
<div class="alert alert-primary d-flex align-items-center" role="alert"> <em class="ni ni-alert-fill icon me-1"></em> <div> An example alert with an icon </div></div>
Dismissing
Using the alert JavaScript plugin, it’s possible to dismiss any alert inline. Here’s how:
- Be sure you’ve loaded the alert plugin, or the compiled Bootstrap JavaScript.
- Add a close button and the
.alert-dismissible class
, which adds extra padding to the right of the alert and positions the close button. - On the close button, add the
data-bs-dismiss="alert"
attribute, which triggers the JavaScript functionality. Be sure to use thebutton
element with it for proper behavior across all devices. - To animate alerts when dismissing them, be sure to add the
.fade
and.show
classes.
<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert"> <strong>Holy guacamole!</strong> You should check in on some of those fields below. <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button></div>
