Examples
Vue Alert is prepared for any length of text, as well as an optional close button. For a styling, use one of the required contextual color props (e.g., primary). For inline dismissal, use the dismissing prop.
<template>
<CAlert theme="primary">A simple primary alert—check it out!</CAlert>
<CAlert theme="secondary">A simple secondary alert—check it out!</CAlert>
<CAlert theme="success">A simple success alert—check it out!</CAlert>
<CAlert theme="danger">A simple danger alert—check it out!</CAlert>
<CAlert theme="warning">A simple warning alert—check it out!</CAlert>
<CAlert theme="info">A simple info alert—check it out!</CAlert>
<CAlert theme="secondary">A simple light alert—check it out!</CAlert>
<CAlert theme="inverse">A simple dark alert—check it out!</CAlert>
</template>
<script setup>
import { CAlert } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>Live example
Click the button below to show an alert (hidden with inline styles to start), then dismiss (and destroy) it with the built-in close button.
<template>
<CAlert v-model:show="show" theme="primary" dismissible>
A simple primary alert—check it out!
</CAlert>
<CButton theme="primary" @click="show = true">Show live alert</CButton>
</template>
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { CAlert, CButton } from '@coreui/vue'
const show = ref(false)
</script>Link color
Use the <CAlertLink> component to immediately give matching colored links inside any alert.

</template>
<script setup>
import { CAlert, CAlertLink } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>Additional content
Alert can also incorporate supplementary HTML elements like heading, paragraph, and divider.
<template>
<CAlert theme="success">
<div class="vstack">
<CAlertHeading as="h4">Well done!</CAlertHeading>
<p>
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.
</p>
<hr />
<p class="mb-0">
Whenever you need to, be sure to use margin utilities to keep things nice and tidy.
</p>
</div>
</CAlert>
</template>
<script setup>
import { CAlert, CAlertHeading } from '@coreui/vue'
</script>Icons
Similarly, you can use flexbox utilities and CoreUI Icons to create alerts with icons. Depending on your icons and content, you may want to add more utilities or custom styles.
<template>
<CAlert theme="primary">
<svg class="flex-shrink-0" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 512 512">
<rect
width="32"
height="176"
x="240"
y="176"
fill="var(--ci-primary-color, currentColor)"
class="ci-primary"
></rect>
<rect
width="32"
height="32"
x="240"
y="384"
fill="var(--ci-primary-color, currentColor)"
class="ci-primary"
></rect>
<path
fill="var(--ci-primary-color, currentColor)"
d="M274.014,16H237.986L16,445.174V496H496V445.174ZM464,464H48V452.959L256,50.826,464,452.959Z"
class="ci-primary"
></path>
</svg>
<div>An example alert with an icon</div>

<script setup>
import { CAlert } from '@coreui/vue'

Alerts can also be easily dismissed. Just add the dismissible prop.

<strong>Go right ahead</strong> and click that dismiss over there on the right.
</CAlert>
</template>
<script setup>
import { CAlert } from '@coreui/vue'
const handleClose = () => {
alert('👋 Well, hi there! Thanks for dismissing me.')
}
</script>
