Static live region alert

Info alert:Default live region configuration

This alert uses the recommended isLiveRegion prop to automatically set ARIA attributes and CSS classes.

Info alert:Customized live region

You can alternatively omit the isLiveRegion prop to specify ARIA attributes and CSS manually on the containing element.

Dynamic live region alert

Alerts asynchronously appended into dynamic AlertGroups with isLiveRegion will be announced to assistive technology at the moment the change happens, following the strategy used for aria-atomic, which defaults to false. This means only changes of type "addition" will be announced.

    Async live region alert

    This shows how an alert could be triggered by an asynchronous event in the application. Note that you can customize how the alert will be announced to assistive technology. See the alert accessibility tab for more information.
