No component-specific keys.

System support

Light and dark themes, logical RTL layout, reduced motion, responsive content, and forwarded public refs.

Source-derived reference

Anatomy and public API

Exported anatomy

These public React parts are read directly from the canonical source during the documentation build.

Prop contracts

`GummyAlertProps`

Composes React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> & { variant?: "neutral" | "info" | "success" | "warning" | "danger"; live?: "off" | "polite" | "assertive"; icon?: React.ReactNode; }

Troubleshooting

Check behavior before surface.

If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
If interaction differs, preserve this contract: No component-specific keys.
If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: Passive content by default; optional status or alert live-region behavior.
If dark, RTL, or reduced-motion behavior is missing, verify the nearest theme, direction, and media-query boundaries rather than adding page-local overrides.

Implementation decisions

When to use Alert

Use an alert for information that belongs in the current page flow, then match its urgency to the actual consequence. Give the message a concise heading, describe the next useful action, and do not rely on colour or an icon to communicate status. Reserve interruptive dialogs or live announcements for changes that genuinely need immediate attention; repeated static guidance should remain ordinary page content.

Inspect the canonical states

The Component Lab exercises real source across default, focus, disabled, responsive, dark, reduced-motion, and RTL contexts.
