5 Ways to Use Bootstrap Alerts, Warning, Error, Success & Info Messages

Introduction

 
This article demonstrates you a different way of using bootstrap warning, success, info, and error alert message in your projects. Bootstrap 4 provides an easy way to create predefined alert messages. It provides contextual feedback messages for typical user actions with the handful of available and flexible alert messages. Alerts are available for any length of text, as well as an optional dismiss button.

.alert Creates an alert message box
.alert-dismissible Indicates a closable alert box. Together with the .close class, this class is used to close the alert (adds extra padding)
.alert-heading Adds color:inherit to the specified element
.alert-link Used on links inside alerts to provide matching colored links
.close Styles the close button for the alert message (floats right with a specified font-size, color, etc.)

.alert-primary Blue alert. Indicates an important action
.alert-secondary Grey alert. Indicates a "less" important action
.alert-danger Red alert. Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action
