Alerts

Alert messages are used to inform users of the status of their action and help them solve any problems that might have occurred. Good design of alert modals is very important for the overall user experience of a website or app.

Default markup

Depending on the information you need to convey, you can use one of the following types of alert messages - success, info, warning or danger. Using the right type of alert modal will help draw users’ attention to the message and prompt them to take action.

Combine alert class with one of the following: alert-success, alert-info, alert-warning, alert-danger to get the alert that you need.

Alert classes affect the color of all the text inside an alert. Use another class, e.g. text-secondary to change the color of the alert’s content.

Alert links

Add a link to your alert message to redirect users to the details they need to complete or additional information they should read. Use alert-link class to style the link and match the text color.

Dismissible alerts

Add the x close button to make an alert modal dismissible. Thanks to that, your alert modal will disappear only when the user closes it.

<a class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close"></a>

Alerts with icons

Add an icon to your alert modal to make it more user-friendly and help users easily identify the message.

Use the alert-icon class on an <svg> (or on an <i> when using the webfont) to provide the proper styling.

Alert with avatar

Add an avatar to your alert modal to make it more personalized.

Alert with buttons

Add primary and secondary buttons to your alert modals if you want users to take a particular action based on the information included in the modal message.

Buttons don’t inherit the alert’s color, so you should set the proper class if you want it to be matched. For example, btn-success for alert-success.

Important alerts

If you want your alert to be really eye-catching, you can add an alert-important class. It will use the selected color as a background for the alert.

<div class="alert alert-important alert-success alert-dismissible" role="alert">...</div>

You can also use other elements, like icons and dismissible buttons, with this type of alert.

Custom alert color

You’re not limited to the 4 default alert colors. You can use any base or social color you want.
