Alert

The alert component informs users about necessary configuration actions (warnings) or informs users about failed actions or other events that do not require actions from the user (error messages).

<dt-alert severity="warning">This is a warning message!</dt-alert>

<dt-alert severity="error">This is an error message!</dt-alert>

Imports

You have to import the DtAlertModule to use the dt-alert:

@NgModule({
  imports: [DtAlertModule],
})
class MyModule {}

Initialization

To use the alert component, add the <dt-alert> element to your page.

Inputs

Variants

Depending on the value of the severity input an error- or warning-alert is rendered.

<div>
  <dt-alert severity="error" #alert1>This is a message!</dt-alert>
</div>
<button dt-button (click)="alert1.severity = 'warning'">Set Warning</button>
<button dt-button (click)="alert1.severity = 'error'">Set Error</button>
<button dt-button (click)="alert1.severity = 'info'">Set Info</button>

Dark background

Alerts can be placed on dark background.

<section class="dt-example-dark" dtTheme=":dark">
  <dt-alert severity="warning">{{ text }}</dt-alert>
</section>

<section class="dt-example-dark" dtTheme=":dark">
  <dt-alert severity="error">{{ text }}</dt-alert>
</section>

Alerts in use

For alerts that refer to a specific content such as a form, the message size should not exceed the width of this content.

Read the validation guidelines for more information about how the alert component is used in a form.

Do's and don'ts

• Use a minimum textbox width of 260px.
• Use a maximum textbox width of 580px.
• Don't use walls of text – our alerts and warnings should be as small as possible but effective at the same time.
