Skip to contents

An inline alert banner with optional close button. Fires a Shiny input when the user closes it.

Usage

el_alert(
  id = NULL,
  title = "",
  description = NULL,
  type = "info",
  closable = TRUE,
  close_text = "",
  show_icon = FALSE,
  center = FALSE,
  effect = "light",
  width = NULL,
  slots = NULL,
  session = NULL
)

update_el_alert(
  session = shiny::getDefaultReactiveDomain(),
  id,
  title = NULL,
  type = NULL,
  description = NULL,
  closable = NULL,
  close_text = NULL,
  show_icon = NULL,
  center = NULL,
  effect = NULL
)

Arguments

id

Alert ID. Auto-generated UUID if NULL.

title

Main alert title text.

description

Optional secondary description text. When supplied, the icon is rendered at the larger size.

type

Alert type: "info" (default), "success", "warning", "error".

closable

Whether to show a close button. Default TRUE.

close_text

Custom text for the close button. "" for the default cross.

show_icon

Whether to display the type icon. Default FALSE.

center

Whether to centre the content. Default FALSE.

effect

Visual effect: "light" (default) or "dark".

width

Component width, as a CSS unit – "200px", "50%", or a number taken as pixels. Element's own markup carries it, so it behaves like the width argument of a Shiny input.

slots

Named list of Element slot contents, such as list(title = shiny::tags$b("Bold")). A shiny.element component given here is absorbed rather than nested. For a scoped slot, write the template with template().

session

In el_alert(), deprecated: inside a module, wrap id in ns(), as for any Shiny input; a session given here namespaces id once more, with a warning. In update_el_alert(), the Shiny session, the current one by default, as for shiny::updateTextInput().

Value

An htmltools tagList with a Vue-managed alert component.

Shiny inputs

input$<id>_closed – set to 1 (with priority = "event") when the user closes the alert.

Updating from the server

Server-side update for el_alert().

Every other argument of el_alert() that can change once it is drawn is an argument here too, under the same name. One left NULL stays as it is; NA returns it to Element's default.

update_el_alert() is called for its side effect and returns NULL invisibly.
