Callout

A visual message component to attract user's attention.

Anatomy

Import and assemble the component:

1import { Callout } from '@raystack/apsara'
2

3<Callout />

Usage

Type

Type carries the meaning: grey for neutral information, and the semantic types for success, warning, danger, and accent. Pick the type from what the message means, not from the color you want.

1<Flex gap={5} direction="column">
2  <Callout type="grey">Default Callout</Callout>
3  <Callout type="success">Success Callout</Callout>
4  <Callout type="alert">Alert Callout</Callout>
5  <Callout type="gradient">Gradient Callout</Callout>
6  <Callout type="accent">Accent Callout</Callout>
7  <Callout type="attention">Attention Callout</Callout>
8  <Callout type="normal">Normal Callout</Callout>
9</Flex>

Outline

solid (the default) fills the callout. outline draws a border instead — quieter, for a page that already has several filled surfaces.

1<Flex gap={5} direction="column">
2  <Callout type="success">Without Outline Callout</Callout>
3  <Callout type="success" variant="outline">
4    With Outline Callout
5  </Callout>
6</Flex>

High contrast

highContrast deepens the text and background so the callout holds up against a busy or colored page.

1<Flex gap={5} direction="column">
2  <Callout type="alert">Normal Callout</Callout>
3  <Callout type="alert" highContrast>
4    High Contrast Callout
5  </Callout>
6</Flex>

Dismissible

Set dismissible and pass onDismiss to add a close button. Use it for messages the reader can act on and clear, not for errors that still need fixing. consumer controls removal (the callout stays mounted); when it is omitted, the callout hides itself.

1<Callout dismissible onDismiss={() => alert("Dismissed!")}>
2  Dismissible Callout
3</Callout>

With action

The Callout component can include an action button:

1<Callout type="success" action={<Button>Action</Button>}>
2  A short message to attract user's attention
3</Callout>

API Reference
