## Import

```tsx
import { Alert } from 'heroui-native';
```

## Anatomy

```tsx
<Alert>

    <Alert.Title>...</Alert.Title>
    <Alert.Description>...</Alert.Description>
  </Alert.Content>
</Alert>
```

- **Alert**: Main container with `role="alert"` and status-based styling. Provides status context to sub-components via a primitive context.
- **Alert.Indicator**: Renders a status-appropriate icon by default. Accepts custom children to override the default icon. Supports `iconProps` for customising size and color.
- **Alert.Content**: Wrapper for the title and description. Provides layout structure for text content.
- **Alert.Title**: Heading text with status-based color. Connected to root via `aria-labelledby`.
- **Alert.Description**: Body text rendered with muted color. Connected to root via `aria-describedby`.

## Usage

### Basic Usage

The Alert component uses compound parts to display a notification with an icon, title, and description.

```tsx
<Alert>
  <Alert.Indicator />
  <Alert.Content>
    <Alert.Title>New features available</Alert.Title>
    <Alert.Description>
      Check out our latest updates including dark mode support and improved
      accessibility features.
    </Alert.Description>
  </Alert.Content>
</Alert>
```

### Status Variants

Set the `status` prop to control the icon and title color. Available statuses are `default`, `accent`, `success`, `warning`, and `danger`.

```tsx
<Alert status="success">
  <Alert.Indicator />
  <Alert.Content>
    <Alert.Title>Success</Alert.Title>
    <Alert.Description>...</Alert.Description>
  </Alert.Content>
</Alert>

<Alert status="warning">
  <Alert.Indicator />
  <Alert.Content>
    <Alert.Title>Scheduled maintenance</Alert.Title>
    <Alert.Description>...</Alert.Description>
  </Alert.Content>
</Alert>

<Alert status="danger">
  <Alert.Indicator />
  <Alert.Content>
    <Alert.Title>Unable to connect</Alert.Title>
    <Alert.Description>...</Alert.Description>
  </Alert.Content>
</Alert>
```

### Title Only

Omit `Alert.Description` for a compact single-line alert.

```tsx
<Alert status="success" className="items-center">
  <Alert.Indicator className="pt-0" />
  <Alert.Content>
    <Alert.Title>Profile updated successfully</Alert.Title>
  </Alert.Content>
</Alert>
```

### With Action Buttons

Place additional elements like buttons alongside the content.

```tsx
<Alert status="accent">
  <Alert.Indicator />
  <Alert.Content>
    <Alert.Title>Update available</Alert.Title>
    <Alert.Description>
      A new version of the application is available.
    </Alert.Description>
  </Alert.Content>
  <Button size="sm" variant="primary">
    Refresh
  </Button>
</Alert>
```

### Custom Indicator

Replace the default status icon by passing custom children to `Alert.Indicator`.

```tsx
<Alert status="accent">
  <Alert.Indicator>
    <Spinner>
      <Spinner.Indicator iconProps={{ width: 20, height: 20 }} />
    </Spinner>
  </Alert.Indicator>
  <Alert.Content>
    <Alert.Title>Processing your request</Alert.Title>
    <Alert.Description>Please wait while we sync your data.</Alert.Description>
  </Alert.Content>
</Alert>
```

### Custom Styling

Apply custom styles using the `className` prop on the root and compound parts.

```tsx
<Alert className="bg-accent/10 rounded-xl">
  <Alert.Indicator className="pt-1" />
  <Alert.Content className="gap-1">
    <Alert.Title className="text-lg">...</Alert.Title>
    <Alert.Description className="text-base">...</Alert.Description>
  </Alert.Content>
</Alert>
```

## Example

```tsx
import { Alert, Button, CloseButton } from 'heroui-native';
import { View } from 'react-native';

export default function AlertExample() {
  return (
    <View className="w-full gap-4">
      <Alert status="accent">
        <Alert.Indicator />
        <Alert.Content>
          <Alert.Title>Update available</Alert.Title>
          <Alert.Description>
            A new version of the application is available. Please refresh to get
            the latest features and bug fixes.
          </Alert.Description>
        </Alert.Content>
        <Button size="sm" variant="primary">
          Refresh
        </Button>
      </Alert>

      <Alert status="danger">
        <Alert.Indicator />
        <Alert.Content>
          <Alert.Title>Unable to connect to server</Alert.Title>
          <Alert.Description>
            Unable to connect to the server. Check your internet connection and
            try again.
          </Alert.Description>
        </Alert.Content>
        <Button size="sm" variant="danger">
          Retry
        </Button>
      </Alert>

      <Alert status="success" className="items-center">
        <Alert.Indicator className="pt-0" />
        <Alert.Content>
          <Alert.Title>Profile updated successfully</Alert.Title>
        </Alert.Content>
        <CloseButton />
      </Alert>
    </View>
  );
}
```
