Usage

The AlertBanner should be used to notify the user that a product-related signal is of the utmost importance. These messages will thematically provide informational, cautionary, or warning messages based on the severity and importance level determined by the experience.

To re-enforce the level of importance these messages offer, the AlterBanner should be placed at the top of the page, will not be dismissible, and will disappear once the appropriate action is taken.

Best practices

AlertBanner should be used as a banner at the very top of the page.

Call-to-actions (e.g. <a> tags in the children prop) should be the last item in the children.

You can use the icon prop to override the default icon.
