deliver transparent clarity for task and system statuses

Using Grommet for HPE?See Notification examples and guidance.

The Notification component is a work-in-progress. This page is focused on the first iteration of Notifications, which is mainly the Toast Notification. We are currently exploring and ideating on banners, badging, bells, and inline, global and system notifications to include in future versions.

Toast Notifications

Toast notifications are used to communicate low severity level information to users in an unobtrusive way. They should be used sparingly to display low attention messages and statuses that do not require user action.

If there are multiple toast notifications, you should deal with them by having only one toast present at a time. Once the first toast is dismissed or timed out, the next one should appear.

Props

actions

Anchors that appear to the right of the title and message. Value should be provided as an array of objects, where the object accepts any Anchor properties.

  { label: 'Renew Subscription', href: '/renew'},
  { label: 'View Details', href:'/details' }
