Show with trigger

You can manually show alert using triggerRef property with other element.

        
            
            import React, { useRef } from 'react';
            import { MDBAlert, MDBContainer, MDBBtn } from 'mdb-react-ui-kit';

            export default function App() {
              const triggerRef = useRef(null);

              return (
                <MDBContainer className='text-center'>
                  <MDBBtn ref={triggerRef}>Show alert!</MDBBtn>
                  <MDBAlert triggerRef={triggerRef} className='mt-3 w-100' color='primary'>
                    Hidden alert!
                  </MDBAlert>
                </MDBContainer>
              );
            }
          
        
    

Placement

You can set the position of every alert using the position property.

Select horizontal / vertical alignment

Current position: top-right
        
            
            import React, { useRef } from 'react';
            import { MDBAlert, MDBContainer, MDBBtn } from 'mdb-react-ui-kit';

            export default function App() {
              const placementExample = useRef(null);

              return (
                <MDBContainer className='text-center'>
                  <MDBBtn ref={placementExample}>Show!</MDBBtn>
                  <MDBAlert
                    color='primary'
                    autohide
                    position='top-right'
                    delay={2000}
                    appendToBody
                    triggerRef={placementExample}
                  >
                    Show me wherever you want!
                  </MDBAlert>
                </MDBContainer>
              );
            }
          
        
    

Container

You can display an alert anywhere. Just put it in your target element and fill the containerRef property with reference to the parent.

        
            
            import React, { useRef } from 'react';
            import { MDBAlert, MDBBtn } from 'mdb-react-ui-kit';

            export default function App() {
              const triggerContainer = useRef(null);
              const wrapperRef = useRef(null);

              return (
                <div className='container text-center' ref={wrapperRef}>
                  <MDBBtn className='mb-5' ref={triggerContainer}>
                    Show alert below!
                  </MDBBtn>
    
                  <MDBAlert
                    color='primary'
                    autohide
                    position='top-right'
                    delay={3000}
                    triggerRef={triggerContainer}
                    containerRef={wrapperRef}
                  >
                    Hello from parent element!
                  </MDBAlert>
                </div>
              );
            }
          
        
    

Offset

You can set offset of your alert using a offset property.

        
            
            import React, { useRef } from 'react';
            import { MDBAlert, MDBBtn } from 'mdb-react-ui-kit';

            export default function App() {
              const triggerOffset = useRef(null);

              return (
                <>
                  <MDBBtn className='mb-5' ref={triggerOffset}>
                    Show alert with offset!
                  </MDBBtn>
      
                  <MDBAlert
                    color='primary'
                    autohide
                    offset={100}
                    position='top-right'
                    delay={3000}
                    triggerRef={triggerOffset}
                  >
                    Offset: 100px
                  </MDBAlert>
                </>
              );
            }
          
        
    

Stacking

You can turn on stacking your alerts using the stacking property.

        
            
            import React, { useState } from 'react';
            import { MDBAlert, MDBBtn } from 'mdb-react-ui-kit';

            export default function App() {
              const [stackingAlerts, setStackingAlerts] = useState<Array<Record<string, any>>>([]);
              const [stackingColor, setStackingColor] = useState(0);
            
              const handleClick = () => {
                const colors = ['primary', 'warning', 'info', 'success', 'secondary', 'danger', 'light'];
            
                stackingColor + 1 > colors.length - 1 ? setStackingColor(0) : setStackingColor(stackingColor + 1);
            
                setStackingAlerts([
                  ...stackingAlerts,
                  {
                    color: colors[stackingColor],
                    count: stackingAlerts.length > 0 ? stackingAlerts.length + 1 : 1,
                  },
