Flash messages, or alerts, inform users of successful or pending actions. Use them sparingly. Don't show more than one at a time.

• Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header {:toc}

Default

Flash messages start off looking decently neutral—they're just light blue rounded rectangles.

{% example html %}

Flash message goes here.

{% endexample %}

You can put multiple paragraphs of text in a flash message—the last paragraph's bottom margin will be automatically override.

{% example html %}

This is a longer flash message in it's own paragraph. It ends up looking something like this. If we keep adding more text, it'll eventually wrap to a new line.

And this is another paragraph.

{% endexample %}

Should the need arise, you can quickly space out your flash message from surrounding content with a .flash-messages wrapper. Note the extra top and bottom margin in the example below.

{% example html %}

Variations

Add .flash-warn or .flash-error to the flash message to make it yellow or red, respectively.

With icon

Add an icon to the left of the flash message to give it some funky fresh attention. Just add .flash-with-icon and your Octicon.

{% example html %}

Flash message with an icon goes here.

Dismiss

Add a JavaScript enabled (via Crema) dismiss (close) icon on the right of any flash message.

{% example html %}

Dismissable flash message goes here.
