Accessibility

Follows the WAI-ARIA Alert Pattern, announcing messages with a polite level of importance.

Content guidelines

An Alert can contain layout components such as Stack and Inline, as well as typographic components such as Text, TextLink and List. We do not recommend using Button elements inside of message.This component has only been designed to use standard size text. Any other size of text will break the alignment with the icon.

Contextual design

When an Alert is used on a surface background colour, i.e. in a Card, the outline is omitted.

Data attributes

Braid components are very explicit about the properties they accept, which makes providing arbitrary data attributes not possible. Instead, a data prop can be provided as a single collection of data attributes.
