A Github / Obsidian inspired web component for displaying a callout in your page.

Live Example on Codepen

<script src="https://unpkg.com/callout-alert@1"></script>

<callout-alert type="tip">
  Optional information to help a user be more successful.
</callout-alert>

The following types are available by default:

You can also configure the Color, Icon, and Title using CSS variables or slots.

The following CSS variables can be used to control the presentation of the component:

--callout-color

Used to set the color of the component. Currently must be a set of 3 numbers, the red, green, and blue value.

--callout-icon

Icon to use, you can use any value from Google's Icon Font.

--callout-title

Title for the callout. Can be any string.

You can set some or all of these for a specific callout-alert instance, or at a page level.

<style>
  callout-alert {
    --callout-color: 0, 200, 225;
    --callout-icon: 'bolt';
    --callout-title: 'Alert';
  }
</style>

<callout-alert> Watch out for Lightning bolts! </callout-alert>

You can use the following slot names to change the icon or title of the callout.

icon

Can be used to override the icon.

title

Can be used to override the title.

You can set some or all of these inside a callout-alert instance.

<callout-alert type="tip">
  <span slot="icon">📦</span>
  <span slot="title">Slots</span>
  This is a custom alert, that uses slots to set the icon and title.
</callout-alert>

Below are a list of known limitations. While there may be available solutions here, an effort has been made to make the code as straight-forward as possible.

Until relative CSS colors are universally supported, the colors are defined as three numbers. Ideally, once relative colors are supported, we would allow any CSS color (this will be marked as a breaking change, if introduced).

By default, this component loads Google's Material Icon font in the owner document using javascript. Sadly, it's currently not possible to load font-families from a web component context, or from a stylesheet in a component.

This component was built using Tram-Lite, you can read more about the project at https://tram-one.io/tram-lite/.

You can load all the component variants, plus a slot and CSS variable example by running:

npm ci
npm run build
npm start
