Message #
User-facing message with icon.
Message styles and icon will vary depending on the message type (notice, warning, error or success). Messages are block style by default, but can be displayed as inline messages via the inline
prop.
Block-style messages can be made dismissable in the following ways:
- By using the
dismissButtonLabel
prop, which adds a dismiss button - By using the
autoDismiss
prop. This can be set totrue
to use the default display time of 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds), or the display time can be customized by settingautoDismiss
to a number of milliseconds.

Fade in #
When a message is dynamically added to the UI, use the fadeIn
prop to enable a transition.
<template>
<cdx-button :disabled="showMessage" @click="showMessage = true">
Show message
</cdx-button>
<cdx-message v-if="showMessage" type="warning" :fade-in="true">
<p><strong>Warning!</strong> Here's some information you should know.</p>
</cdx-message>
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import { defineComponent } from "vue";
import { CdxMessage, CdxButton } from "@wikimedia/codex";
export default defineComponent({
name: "MessageFadeIn",
components: { CdxMessage, CdxButton },
data() {
return {
showMessage: false
};
}
});
</script>
Dismiss button #
Messages can be made dismissable by supplying a semantic label for the dismiss button via the dismissButtonLabel
prop. This label will be visually hidden but accessible to screen readers.
When the dismiss button is clicked, the Message component hides itself, and a 'user-dismissed' event is emitted to the parent component in case the parent component needs to react to the message dismissal in some way.
Note that inline messages cannot be dismissable.
<cdx-message dismiss-button-label="Close">
Notice message with dismiss button
</cdx-message>
Auto-dismiss #
The autoDismiss
prop can be used to automatically remove the message after a period of time. Set this prop to true
to use the default display time of 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds). To customize the display time, set the autoDismiss
prop to a number of milliseconds.
This feature should only be used for very short messages to ensure that can be read and understand before disappearing. When in doubt, do not use auto-dismiss.
Auto-dismiss can be used with or without the manual dismiss button.
<template>
<cdx-button :disabled="showMessage" @click="showMessage = true">
Show message
</cdx-button>
<cdx-message
v-if="showMessage"
type="success"
:fade-in="true"
:auto-dismiss="true"
:display-time="3000"
>
Success! This message will disappear...
</cdx-message>
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import { defineComponent } from "vue";
import { CdxMessage, CdxButton } from "@wikimedia/codex";
export default defineComponent({
name: "MessageAutoDismiss",
components: { CdxMessage, CdxButton },
data() {
return {
showMessage: false
};
}
});
</script>
Multiline message #
Message content can contain markup like bold text and links.
<cdx-message type="error">
<p><strong>An error has occurred</strong></p>
<p>Comprehensive explanation of the error</p>
</cdx-message>
With custom icon #
Only notice messages may have a custom icon.
<cdx-message :icon="cdxIconArticle">
Notice message with custom icon
</cdx-message>
Usage #
Props #
Prop name | Description | Type | Values | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
type | Message type. | MessageType | 'notice' , 'warning' , 'error' , 'success' | 'notice' |
inline | Whether this message follows the inline design (no padding, background color, or border). | boolean | - | false |
icon | Custom message icon. Only allowed for notice messages. | Icon | - | null |
fadeIn | Whether the message should fade in. Should be used for messages that are dynamically displayed, not present on page load. | boolean | - | false |
dismissButtonLabel | Label text for the dismiss button for user-dismissable messages. An icon-only button will be displayed that will hide the message on click. This prop is for the hidden button label required for screen reader accessibility and tooltip text. | string | - | '' |
autoDismiss | Enable automatic dismissal of message after a period of time. This prop can be set to true to use the default display time of 4000 milliseconds. To customize the display time, set this prop to a number of milliseconds.TODO: consider adding a stricter validator to set limits on this. If the time is too short, the message may not be readable. If the time is too long, the message probably shouldn't be auto-dismissed. | boolean|number | - | false |
