BGO Design System - Alerts

This is part of a design system I'm working on. See the reference site.

---------------------

Alerts notify users about important information, system statuses, or actions that require their attention. Alerts are designed to convey messages in a prominent and noticeable way to ensure users are aware of critical updates, errors, warnings, or confirmations.

A few key purposes of alerts:

Error and validation messages: Alerts are commonly used to notify users about errors or invalid inputs they have made while interacting with a system. They help in guiding users to correct their mistakes and provide feedback to ensure they understand what went wrong.

System notifications: Alerts are useful for notifying users about system statuses, updates, or important information. 

Confirmation or success messages: Alerts can be employed to acknowledge successful completion of an action, such as submitting a form, saving changes, or completing a transaction. They provide reassurance and feedback to users, indicating that their intended action has been successfully processed.

Warnings and important notices: Alerts can be used to communicate warnings or important notices to users. For instance, a warning alert might inform users about potentially risky actions or remind them of the consequences of certain choices. Important notices can convey time-sensitive information or draw attention to critical updates.
