Message

Display global messages as feedback in response to user operations.

When To Use#

  • To provide feedback such as success, warning, error etc.

  • A message is displayed at top and center and will be dismissed automatically, as a non-interrupting light-weighted prompt.

Examples

Normal message for information.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, message } from 'antd';
import React from 'react';

const info = () => {
  message.info('This is a normal message');
};

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Button type="primary" onClick={info}>
    Display normal message
  </Button>
);

export default App;

Customize message display duration from default 3s to 10s.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, message } from 'antd';
import React from 'react';

const success = () => {
  message.success('This is a prompt message for success, and it will disappear in 10 seconds', 10);
};

const App: React.FC = () => <Button onClick={success}>Customized display duration</Button>;

export default App;

message provides a promise interface for onClose. The above example will display a new message when the old message is about to close.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, message } from 'antd';
import React from 'react';

const success = () => {
  message
    .loading('Action in progress..', 2.5)
    .then(() => message.success('Loading finished', 2.5))
    .then(() => message.info('Loading finished is finished', 2.5));
};

const App: React.FC = () => <Button onClick={success}>Display sequential messages</Button>;

export default App;

The style and className are available to customize Message.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, message } from 'antd';
import React from 'react';

const success = () => {
  message.success({
    content: 'This is a prompt message with custom className and style',
    className: 'custom-class',
    style: {
      marginTop: '20vh',
    },
  });
};

const App: React.FC = () => <Button onClick={success}>Customized style</Button>;

export default App;

Messages of success, error and warning types.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, message, Space } from 'antd';
import React from 'react';

const success = () => {
  message.success('This is a success message');
};

const error = () => {
  message.error('This is an error message');
};

const warning = () => {
  message.warning('This is a warning message');
};

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Space>
    <Button onClick={success}>Success</Button>
    <Button onClick={error}>Error</Button>
    <Button onClick={warning}>Warning</Button>
  </Space>
);

export default App;

Display a global loading indicator, which is dismissed by itself asynchronously.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, message, Space } from 'antd';
import React from 'react';

const success = () => {
  const hide = message.loading('Action in progress..', 0, () => {
    message.success('loading had closed');
  });
  // Dismiss manually and asynchronously
  setTimeout(hide, 2500);
};

const success2 = () => {
  message.loading('Action in progress..', 3, () => {
    message.success('loading had closed');
  });
};

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Space>
    <Button onClick={success}>Display a loading indicator</Button>
    <Button onClick={success2}>Display a loading and auto hide</Button>
  </Space>
);

export default App;

Update message content with unique key.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, message } from 'antd';
import React from 'react';

const key = 'updatable';

const openMessage = () => {
  message.loading({ content: 'Loading...', key });
  setTimeout(() => {
    message.success({ content: 'Loaded!', key, duration: 2 });
  }, 1000);
};

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Button type="primary" onClick={openMessage}>
    Open the message box
  </Button>
);

export default App;

Use message.useMessage to get contextHolder with context accessible issue.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, message } from 'antd';
import React from 'react';

const Context = React.createContext({ name: 'Default' });

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [messageApi, contextHolder] = message.useMessage();

  const info = () => {
    messageApi.open({
      type: 'info',
      content: <Context.Consumer>{({ name }) => `Hello, ${name}!`}</Context.Consumer>,
      duration: 1,
    });
  };

  return (
    <Context.Provider value={{ name: 'Ant Design' }}>
      {contextHolder}
      <Button type="primary" onClick={info}>
        Display normal message
      </Button>
    </Context.Provider>
  );
};

export default App;

API#

This components provides some static methods, with usage and arguments as following:

  • message.success(content, [duration], onClose)

  • message.error(content, [duration], onClose)

  • message.info(content, [duration], onClose)

  • message.warning(content, [duration], onClose)

  • message.warn(content, [duration], onClose) // alias of warning

  • message.loading(content, [duration], onClose)

ArgumentDescriptionTypeDefault
contentThe content of the messageReactNode | config-
durationTime(seconds) before auto-dismiss, don't dismiss if set to 0number1.5
onCloseSpecify a function that will be called when the message is closedfunction-

afterClose can be called in thenable interface:

  • message[level](content, [duration]).then(afterClose)

  • message[level](content, [duration], onClose).then(afterClose)

where level refers one static methods of message. The result of then method will be a Promise.

Supports passing parameters wrapped in an object:

  • message.open(config)

  • message.success(config)

  • message.error(config)

  • message.info(config)

  • message.warning(config)

  • message.warn(config) // alias of warning

  • message.loading(config)

The properties of config are as follows:

Global static methods#

Methods for global configuration and destruction are also provided:

  • message.config(options)

  • message.destroy()

use message.destroy(key) to remove a message。

message.config#

When you use ConfigProvider for global configuration, the system will automatically start RTL mode by default.(4.3.0+)

When you want to use it alone, you can start the RTL mode through the following settings.

message.config({
  top: 100,
  duration: 2,
  maxCount: 3,
  rtl: true,
  prefixCls: 'my-message',
});
ArgumentDescriptionTypeDefaultVersion

maxCountMax message show, drop oldest if exceed limitnumber-
prefixClsThe prefix className of message nodestringant-message4.5.0

FAQ#

Why I can not access context, redux, ConfigProvider locale/prefixCls in message?#

antd will dynamic create React instance by ReactDOM.render when call message methods. Whose context is different with origin code located context.

When you need context info (like ConfigProvider context), you can use message.useMessage to get api instance and contextHolder node. And put it in your children:

const [api, contextHolder] = message.useMessage();

return (
  <Context1.Provider value="Ant">
    {/* contextHolder is inside Context1 which means api will get value of Context1 */}
    {contextHolder}
    <Context2.Provider value="Design">
      {/* contextHolder is outside Context2 which means api will **not** get value of Context2 */}
    </Context2.Provider>
  </Context1.Provider>
);

Note: You must insert contextHolder into your children with hooks. You can use origin method if you do not need context connection.

How to set static methods prefixCls ?#

You can config with ConfigProvider.config
