Dismissing

Using the alert JavaScript plugin, it’s possible to dismiss any alert inline. Here’s how:

  • Be sure you’ve loaded the alert plugin, or the compiled Bootstrap JavaScript.
  • Add a close button and the .alert-dismissible class, which adds extra padding to the right of the alert and positions the close button.
  • On the close button, add the data-mdb-dismiss="alert" attribute, which triggers the JavaScript functionality. Be sure to use the button element with it for proper behavior across all devices.
  • To animate alerts when dismissing them, be sure to add the .fade and .show classes.

You can see this in action with a live demo:

Show

You can manually show alert using show() method.

Hide

You can manually hide alert using hide() method.

Placement

You can set the position of every alert using the data-mdb-position attribute.

Select horizontal / vertical alignment

Current position: top-right

Container

You can display an alert anywhere. Just put it in your target element and fill the data-mdb-container attribute with id or class of parent.

Offset

You can set offset of your alert using a data-mdb-offset tag.

Stacking

You can turn on stacking your alerts using the data-mdb-stacking attribute.

Stacking - Container

You can also stack alerts inside the container
