Implementation

The sbb-alert-group manages the accessibility of one or multiple
sbb-alert and also its visual gap between each other.

<sbb-alert-group accessibility-title="Disruptions" accessibility-level="2">
  <sbb-alert size="l">
    <sbb-title level="3">Interruption between Genève and Lausanne</sbb-title>
    The rail traffic between Allaman and Morges is interrupted. All trains are cancelled.
    <sbb-link href="https://www.sbb.ch">Find out more</sbb-link>

    connections. <sbb-link href="https://www.sbb.ch">Find out more</sbb-link>
  </sbb-alert>
</sbb-alert-group>

Interactions

If all the sbb-alerts are dismissed, it's recommended to completely remove the sbb-alert-group from DOM.

You can catch this moment by listening to empty event and react accordingly.

Accessibility

By specifying the accessibility-title it's possible to add a hidden title to the sbb-alert-group.
The heading level can be set via accessibility-title-level.

By default, the sbb-alert-group has the role status which means that if a new alert arrives,
it will be read out as soon as the user is idle
(equal to aria-live="polite").

You can change the role or aria-live attributes to fit your needs.
For example, you can set the role to alert which implicitly sets aria-live to assertive
and therefore interrupts screen reader flow, to immediately read out the alert content.

Note that with role alert, in some combinations of screen readers and browsers not every part of the alert is fully read.
