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.

<Alert variant="success">
    <Alert.Heading>Well done!</Alert.Heading>
    <p>

Icons

Similarly, you can use (React) Bootstrap Icons to create alerts with icons. Depending on your icons and content, you may want to add more utilities or custom styles.

// import below bootstrap icons from react-bootstrap-icons library before using those
import { ExclamationCircleFill, CheckCircleFill, ExclamationTriangleFill } from 'react-bootstrap-icons';

<Alert variant="primary"><ExclamationCircleFill size={25} className="me-1"  />An example alert with an icon</Alert>
<Alert variant="success "><CheckCircleFill size={25} className="me-1"  />An example success alert with an icon</Alert>
<Alert variant="warning"><ExclamationTriangleFill size={25} className="me-1"  />An example warning alert with an icon</Alert>
<Alert variant="danger"><ExclamationTriangleFill size={25} className="me-1"  />An example danger alert with an icon</Alert>

Dismissing

Add the dismissible prop to add a functioning dismiss button to the Alert.

Code

You should check in on some of those fields below.

const AlertDismissible = () => {
    const [show, setShow] = useState(true);    
    if (show) {
        return (
            <Alert variant="danger" onClose={() => setShow(false)} dismissible>            
            <Alert.Heading>Holy guacamole!</Alert.Heading>You should check in on some of those fields below.          
            </Alert>
        );
    }
    return <Button onClick={() => setShow(true)}>Show Alert</Button>;
}
render(<AlertDismissible />);
