  <CloseButton position="absolute" right="8px" top="8px" />

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.

<Stack spacing={3}>
  <Alert status="error">
    <AlertIcon />
    There was an error processing your request
  </Alert>

  <Alert status="success">
    <AlertIcon />
    Data uploaded to the server. Fire on!
  </Alert>

  <Alert status="warning">
    <AlertIcon />

  </Alert>

  <Alert status="info">

Variant#

Alert has 4 variant styles you can use. Pass the variant prop and use either subtle, solid, left-accent or top-accent.

<Stack spacing={3}>
  <Alert status="success" variant="subtle">
    <AlertIcon />
    Data uploaded to the server. Fire on!
  </Alert>

  <Alert status="success" variant="solid">
    <AlertIcon />

</Stack>

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 can also incorporate other Chakra components. Here's an example of an alert with wrapping description text:

<Alert status="success">
  <AlertIcon />
  <Box flex="1">
    <AlertTitle>Success!</AlertTitle>
    <AlertDescription display="block">
      Your application has been received. We will review your application and
      respond within the next 48 hours.
    </AlertDescription>
  </Box>
  <CloseButton position="absolute" right="8px" top="8px" />
